be sure the auger paddle has stopped rotating. Always use a tool to clean out
the chute, never use your hands.
SELF-PROPELLING THE SNOWBLOWER
Lift the machine handle until the wheels are just off the ground and the scraper
and auger paddle touch the ground. The machine will propel forward.
NOTE:
By slightly varying lifting force on the handle, you can control the
forward speed of the machine. In heavy snow, push forward on the handle if
necessary, but let the machine work at its own pace. Do not lift the handle any
more than necessary, because the scraper will lift off the ground and snow will
escape behind the machine.
PREVENTING FREEZING AFTER USE
Keep the machine running for a few minutes after use to prevent freezing of
the auger paddle and moving parts. Stop the engine, wait for all moving parts
to stop, and remove ice and snow from the machine. Clean off any snow and
ice from the base of the chute. Rotate the discharge chute left and right to free
it from any ice buildup. With the ignition key in the off position, pull the recoil
starter handle several times to prevent the recoil starter from freezing up. In
snowy and cold conditions, some controls and moving parts may freeze. 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.
OPERATING TIPS
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects that the auger paddle could pick
up and eject. Keep all children and pets away from the operating area.
FOR OPERATION
Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls. Overlap each swath to
ensure complete snow removal. Discharge the snow downwind whenever
possible.
LED LIGHT
The LED lights will turn on when you start the machine and turn off when you
stop the machine.
