Insert key into back of control bar.
The Snowthrower will now operate when the control bar is
squeezed. The Snowthrower will stop when the control bar is
released. Figure 7.
WARNING: The motor is equipped with a protect-
ing device that will disconnect power to the motor
temporarily if the Snowthrower is overworked,
and will automatically reset as the motor cools. If the mo-
tor stops, release control bar to avoid accidental starting
when the protector resets.
Push Snowthrower forward at a rate of speed comfortable for the
operator. Don’t force the Snowthrower, it will perform better at a
slower and constant speed. The depth and consistency of the
snow will govern the speed of forward travel.
If you find it necessary to clear snow from gravel or irregular
surfaces, push down on handle to raise impeller blades clear of
loose or irregular surfaces.
In deep snow it may be necessary to make two or three passes
over an area in order to clear it acceptably.
WARNING: Never direct snow discharge towards
bystanders, glass enclosures or automobiles.
NOTE: Do not operate Snowthrower out of snow for
extended periods of time.
