Throwing Snow
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
Stones, toys and other foreign objects may be
picked up and thrown by the rotor blades.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•
Thrown objects can cause serious personal
injury to operator or bystanders.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects
that could be picked up and thrown by rotor
blades.
•
Keep all children and pets away from area of
operation.
•
The snowthrower clears down to the ground and
propels itself forward when you raise the handle. The
snowthrower tilts slightly forward so that the rotor
blades strike the ground. The wheels do not need to
touch the ground to self-propel. The more you tilt the
handle forward, the faster the snowthrower
self-propels.
•
Always overlap each swath and discharge the snow
downwind whenever possible.
•
To clear snow from crushed rock or gravel, push down
on the handle to raise the rotor blades clear of the
loose material and push the snowthrower forward.
•
In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze solid. Do not use excessive
force when trying to operate frozen controls. If you
have difficulty operating any control or part, start the
engine and let it run for a few minutes.
•
After clearing the snow, let the engine run for a few
minutes to prevent the moving parts from freezing.
Shut off the engine and remove all ice and snow from
the snowthrower.
