OPERATING PROCEDURES
!
CLEAN-OUT TOOL
The clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of the auger housing
with a mounting clip (
T, fig.10
). Should snow and ice lodge itself in the chute
assembly during operation, proceed as follows to safely clean the chute and
chute opening:
1. Release both the Auger Control and the Drive Control/ Auger control lock.
2. Stop the engine by moving the throttle to the stop position.
3. Remove the clean-out tool from the mounting clip.
4. Use one end of the clean-out tool to dislodge and scoop any snow and ice
which has formed in and near the chute assembly.
WARNING: Never use your hands to clean snow and ice from the chute or
auger housing. Use the clean-out tool or a stick to unclog.
5. Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of the auger
housing and restart the engine.
6. While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snowthrower), engage the
auger control for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow and ice from the
chute assembly.
OPERATING TIPS
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes.. The engine will not
develop full power until it reaches operating temperature.
WARNING:
The temperature of the muffler and the surrounding areas may
exceed 65
o
C (150
o F). Avoid these areas.
For the most efficient snow removal, remove snow immediately after it falls.
Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous path.
Set the skid shoes 6 mm (1/4”) below the shave plate for normal use.
•
The skid shoes may be adjusted upward (to lower the shave plate) for
hard-packed snow.
• Adjust downward (to raise the shave plate) when using on gravel or
crushed rock.
Be certain to follow the precautions found in the To Stop Engine section to
prevent possible freeze-up.
Clean the snowthrower thoroughly after each use.
