Snowthrowing Tips
Warning
The rotor blades can throw stones, toys and other
foreign objects and cause serious personal injury
to the operator or to 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.
This produces the best snow removal results.
•
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.
•
If the snowthrower does not propel itself forward on
slippery surfaces or in heavy snow, push forward on
the handle, but allow the snowthrower to work at its
own pace.
•
Overlap each swath to ensure complete snow removal.
•
Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
