2 - 7 2.5 SAFETY DECALS AND LOCATIONS ALWAYS replace missing or damaged Safety Decals. Refer to figure below for Safety Decal locations. Figure 2 DANGER! DANGER! WARNING! 2.6 PREPARATION Before starting any removal of parts, proper preparation is very important for efficient work. A clean work area at the start of each job will allow you to perform service repairs easily and quickly. To reduce the incidence of misplaced tools or parts, place removed components with all attaching hardware in the disassembly order on a clean work surface. Organization is a key part of proper reassembly. Tools, instruments, and parts needed for the job should be gathered before work is started. Interrupting a job to locate tools or parts is a needless delay. 2.7 SERVICE POSITION To ensure the unit is positioned in the proper service position place unit on a flat level surface. ALWAYS stop engine. Assure unit is secure and will not tip over. Strap and clamp onto lift if used. See Service Position in General Maintenance for specific instructions. ROTATING PARTS. Keep clear of auger while engine is running. Read Operator’s Manual. Allow operation only by properly trained adult, never children. Stop engine and remove ignition key prior to leaving the operator’s position for any reason. Keep all controls, guards and safety devices properly serviced and functional. Never direct discharge towards persons or property that may be injured or damaged by thrown objects. ROTATING PARTS! ONLY use clean-out tool to clear blockages. NEVER use your hands. High speed impeller rotates below discharge opening. Wait for all moving parts to stop before removing clogs or servicing. OS2350 OS2080 OS6610 Read Owner/Operator Manual. Keep people away from unit while operating. Keep children out of work area and under watchful care of a responsible adult. Never direct discharge towards persons or property that may be injured or damaged by thrown objects. Stop engine, remove key, read manual before making any repairs, adjustments. Wear appropriate hearing protection. ONLY use clean-out tool to clear blockages. NEVER use your hands.

2 - 8 2.8 CLEANING AND STORAGE IMPORTANT: Never spray unit with water or store unit outdoors to help prevent sealed bearing rust or corrosion. Water can seep into sealed bearings and reduce component life. Bearings are sealed against dirt and debris only. A unit that is excessively dirty should be cleaned before work starts. Cleaning will occasionally uncover trouble sources. Dirt and abrasive dust reduce the efficient work life of parts and can lead to costly replacement. When taking unit out of extended storage: 1. Check for any damage or loose parts. Repair, replace, or tighten hardware before operation. 2. If a preservative fluid was used in fuel tank, drain and discard. Fill fuel tank with fresh new fuel. 2.9 SAFETY RULES Read, understand, and follow all safety practices in Owner/Operator Manual before beginning assembly or operating. Failure to follow instructions could result in personal injury and/or damage to unit. ALWAYS remove key and/or wire from spark plug before assembly, maintenance or service.
