Operating Tips

 

The auger 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 auger blades could pick up and throw.

•  Keep all children and pets away from the area 

of operation.

•  Do not operate snow thrower if weather condi-

tions im pair visibility.  Throwing snow dur ing 

a heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you and 

be hazardous to the safe operation of the snow 

thrower.

Maintenance

NOTE: 

Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.

•  The best time to remove snow is the early morning. 

At this time the snow is usually dry and has not been 

exposed to the direct sun and warming tem per a tures.

•  Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all 

snow will be removed.

•  Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
•  For extremely heavy snow, re duce the width of snow 

removal by over lap ping previous path and moving 

slowly.

• 

Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This 

will help air flow and extend engine life. 

• 

After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run 

for a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.

•  Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each 

use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.
