II. Preparation
Keep bystanders and children out of the operating area.
Never allow children to operate the machine.
Do not operate the machine without all guards and other safety devices in place and functioning properly on the machine.
Inspect the area where you will use the machine and remove all objects that could interfere with the operation of the machine or that the machine could throw.
Use only the battery pack specified by Toro. Using other accessories and attachments may increase the risk of injury and fire.
Plugging the battery charger into an outlet that is not 120 V can cause a fire or electric shock. Do not plug the battery charger into an outlet other than 120 V.
Do not use a damaged or modified battery pack or battery charger, which may exhibit unpredictable behavior that results in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
If the supply cord to the battery charger is damaged, contact an Authorized Service Dealer to replace it.
Charge the battery pack with only the battery charger specified by Toro. A charger suitable for 1 type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Charge the battery pack in a well-ventilated area only.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack outside of the temperature range specified in the instructions. Otherwise, you may damage the battery pack and increase the risk of fire.
Dress properly—Wear appropriate clothing, including eye protection; long pants or trousers; substantial, slip-resistant rubber boots; and hearing protection. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose clothing or loose jewelry that can get caught in moving parts.
III. Operation
Contact with the moving rotor will cause serious injury. Keep your hands and feet away from all moving parts of the machine. Keep clear of any discharge opening.
Stay behind the handles and away from the discharge opening while operating the machine.
Using this machine for purposes other than its intended use could prove dangerous to you and bystanders.
Prevent unintentional starting—Ensure that the electric-start button is removed from the machine before connecting the battery pack and handling the machine.
Use your full attention while operating the machine. Do not engage in any activity that causes distractions; otherwise, injury or property damage may occur.
Shut off the machine, remove the electric-start button, remove the battery pack from the machine, and wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing the machine.
Remove the battery pack and electric-start button from the machine whenever you leave it unattended or before changing accessories.
Do not force the machine—Allow the machine to do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Stay alert—Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the machine. Do not use the machine while ill, tired, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Operate the machine only in good visibility and appropriate weather conditions.
Use extreme caution when reversing or pulling the machine toward you.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times, especially on slopes. Use extreme caution when changing directions on slopes. Do not operate the machine on exceedingly steep slopes. Walk, never run with the machine.
When not actively clearing snow, disengage power to the auger.
Do not use the machine on a gravel surface.
Do not direct the discharge material toward anyone. Avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction; material may ricochet toward you. Shut off the machine when crossing gravel surfaces.
Exercise extreme caution when operating the machine on or crossing drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic.
If the machine strikes an object or starts to vibrate, immediately shut off the machine, remove the electric-start button, remove the battery pack, and wait for all movement to stop before examining the machine for damage. Make all necessary repairs before resuming operation.
Shut off the machine whenever you leave the operating position for any reason.

Shut off the machine, remove the electric-start button, and remove the battery pack(s) from the machine before loading the machine for hauling.
Never operate the machine at high transport speeds on slippery surfaces.
Under abusive conditions, the battery pack may eject liquid; avoid contact. If you accidently come into contact with the liquid, flush with water. If the liquid contacts your eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery pack may cause irritation or burns.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.
CAUTION—A mistreated battery pack may present a risk of fire, explosion, or chemical burn.
Do not disassemble the battery pack.
Replace the battery pack with a genuine Toro battery pack only; using another type of battery pack may cause a fire or risk of injury.
Keep battery packs out of the reach of children and in the original packaging until you are ready to use them.
IV. Maintenance and Storage
Shut off the machine, wait for all moving parts to stop, remove the electric-start button, and remove the battery pack(s) from the machine before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing the machine.
Do not attempt to repair the machine except as indicated in the instructions. Have an Authorized Service Dealer perform service on the machine using identical replacement parts.
Wear gloves and eye protection when servicing the machine.
When servicing the rotor, be aware that the rotor can still move even though the power source is off.
For best performance, use only genuine Toro replacement parts and accessories. Other replacement parts and accessories could be dangerous, and such use could void the product warranty.
Maintain the machine—Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Keep guards in place and in working order. Use identical replacement parts only.
Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness to ensure that the machine is in safe working condition.
Check the machine for damaged parts. Check for misaligned and binding moving parts, broken parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. Unless indicated in the instructions, have an Authorized Service Dealer repair or replace a damaged guard or part.
When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, and screws that can make a connection from 1 terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.

To adjust the discharge chute, move the handle on the chute-control rod in the direction that you wish to direct the snow stream.
To adjust the chute deflector (and therefore the height of the snow stream), squeeze the trigger and raise or lower the chute deflector (Figure 16).
A gap between the discharge chute and the chute deflector may allow the machine to throw snow and objects in the direction of the operator. Thrown objects could cause serious personal injury.
Do not force the chute deflector too far forward so that a gap appears between the discharge chute and chute deflector.
Do not adjust the chute deflector with the power control bar engaged. Release the power control bar before adjusting the chute deflector.
Contacting a rotating rotor with your hands inside the discharge chute could cause serious personal injury.
Never use your hands to clean out the discharge chute.
Shut off the motor, remove the electric-start button, and remove the battery pack.
Wait 10 seconds to ensure that the rotor blades have stopped rotating.
Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands, to clear the chute.
The rotor can throw stones, toys, and other foreign objects and cause serious personal injury to you or bystanders.
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects that the rotor blades could pick up and throw.
Keep all children and pets away from the area of operation.
Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.
Push the machine forward, but allow it to work at its own pace.
Overlap each swath to ensure complete snow removal.
Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
Let the motor run for a few minutes to prevent moving parts from freezing. Shut off the machine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove ice and snow from the machine.
Clean off any snow and ice from the base of the chute.
Rotate the discharge chute left and right to free it from any ice buildup.
In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force when trying to operate frozen controls. If you have difficulty operating any control or part, start the machine and let it run for a few minutes.
Stop the machine, remove the electric-start button, remove the battery pack from the machine, and wait for all movement to stop before adjusting, servicing, cleaning, or storing the machine.
