Work and Travel Speed
Working ground speed will depend upon the depth
and density of the snow. Adjust speed as needed
to clear the work area.
NOTE: A definite pattern of operation is
required to thoroughly clean the work
area. The following patterns will aid
the operator and avoid throwing snow
in unwanted areas of the work area.
Left or Right Discharge
Working ground speed will depend upon the depth
and density of the snow. Adjust speed as needed
to clear the work area.
Figure 7
Where it is possible to throw the snow to the left
and right sides of the work area, move the
machine and snow blower to the center of the
work area
[Figure 7] .
Move the machine and snow blower forward, from
one end to the other, blowing snow to either side
without changing the direction of the discharge
chute
[Figure 7] .
Single Sided Discharge
Working ground speed will depend upon the depth
and density of the snow. Adjust speed as needed
to clear the work area.
Figure 8
Where snow can only be thrown to one side,
move the machine and snow blower to the
opposite end of the work area, away from the area
the snow will be thrown
[Figure 8] .
Move the machine and snow blower forward. At
the end of the first path, rotate the discharge chute
180° to maintain direction the snow needs to be
thrown. Rotate the discharge chute 180° at each
end of the work area until desired amount of snow
has been cleared
[Figure 8] .
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use the snow blower as a push
bucket or push blade. Always have the
auger and fan running when engaged in
snow contact.
