Operating tips
WARNING:
Avoid accidental start-ups. Verify that the operator is in the starting position when using the
snow thrower. In order to avoid serious injury, the operator and unit must be in a stable position when start-
ing the Snow Thrower.
This Snow Thrower is equipped with a special safety switch. In order to operate the switch, insert one finger into the
opening, and push the lever out so that it can be grasped along with the upper handle. Pull the lever back in order to
turn the Snow Thrower on, and hold it against the upper handle in order to keep it running. To turn the Snow Thrower
off, simply release the lever.
Caution: Do no attempt to override the operation of this safety switch.
WARNING:
If the Snow Thrower hits a foreign object while it is in use, the object could be thrown in the
direction of the operator or a bystander. Thrown objects could cause serious personal injury. Keep the
area to be cleared free of all foreign objects that may be picked up and thrown by the rotor blades.
NOTE:
The chute crank makes a noise as it is turned.
This is normal.
The deflector handle (1) that is located on the top of the
discharge chute controls the height of the snow
stream (Fig. 4).
Adjust the height of the snow stream by raising or
lowering the chute deflector
• Keep children and pets away from the operating area.
•
Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys, or other foreign objects that the rotor blades can throw. Such items
may be covered by a snowfall and go unnoticed. If the Snow Thrower strikes an obstruction or a foreign object during
operation, stop the Snow Thrower, unplug the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and inspect the Snow Thrower
for damage.
•
Rotate the chute crank clockwise in order to move the discharge chute to the left, or rotate it counter-clockwise in
order to move the chute to the right.
