OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MOVING THE MACHINE AND PLOWING THE SNOW
WARNING!
Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string, can be picked up and thrown by the snow thrower, causing serious
personal injury. Remove all foreign objects from the area to be plowed before operating the snow thrower.
• Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can become thrown by the rotor blades. Perform a thorough inspection of the area since
some objects may be hidden from view by surrounding snow. If the snow thrower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use,
stop the snow thrower, disconnect the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit for damage. Repair or replace any
damaged part before restarting and operating the unit.
• Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware that the normal noise of the machine when turned on may
make it difficult for you to hear approaching people.
• When moving the snow thrower, use the wheels on one side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the snow thrower on this pivot point to move it
forward or backward.
• Start your clearing path near the electrical outlet and work outward, throwing snow in a back and forth motion. To clear in the opposite
direction, step over the cord and pivot the snow thrower on its wheels. Make sure to overlap clearing paths.
• Note wind direction. If possible, move in the same direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown against the wind (and thus back into
your face and back onto the path).
• While moving the snow thrower, do not drag the power cable violently or roughly. The snow throwershould move within the range that the cable
can reach.
• Do not push the snow thrower with excessive force. You should push the machine gently and evenly in accordance with the unit’s throw rate.
• Do not apply additional man-made load to the engine since this may cause engine damage.
• Some parts of the snow thrower may freeze under extreme temperature conditions. Do not attempt to operate the snow thrower with frozen
parts. If the parts freeze while the snow thrower is in use, stop the snow thrower, unplug the extension cord, and inspect for frozen parts. Free
all parts before restarting or operating the snow thrower. Never force controls that have frozen.
• Working on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved surfaces - To avoid throwing loose surface material along with the snow, push down on the handle to
raise the scraper at the base of the unit above the pebbles or gravel.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
