DANGER: D Do not bypass, modify, alter or
disconnect the safety system. Make sure
that the safety interlock system is fully
operational each time before operating the
machine

Before setting up your STANLEY snow
blower, disconnect the spark plug wires from
the spark plugs and ground them against the
engine to prevent inadvertent starting. This
step should be taken as a precaution
whenever you are working on this machine.
Operation Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT! The snow blower belts are adjusted
to ensure the augers/impeller stop turning within
five (5) seconds of releasing the impeller control
lever. If you are making any belt adjustments
whatsoever, for your safety and the safety of others
around you, you must ensure the belts are re-
adjusted to achieve this design specification.
GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND
EXPLOSIVE. FUEL LEAKS, A LOOSE FUEL TANK,
OR A LOOSE FUEL VALVE CAN LEAD TO
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. DO NOT OPERATE
THIS SNOW BLOWER IF ANY COMPONENT OF
THE FUEL SYSTEM IS LOOSE OR LEAKS
GASOLINE!
Clearing A Clogged Chute—Safety Precautions
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait at least 10 seconds to be sure the augers have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a cleanout tool and never your hands.
4. Ground the spark plug when clearing if hands get
close to the augers/impeller.
