Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.

Push the machine forward, but allow it to work at
its own pace.
•
Overlap each swath to ensure complete snow
removal.

Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
Preventing Freeze-up after
Use
•
Let the motor run for a few minutes to prevent
moving parts from freezing. Shut off the machine,
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.

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 machine and let it run for a few minutes.
