TO THROW SNOW
To propel unit and throw snow:
1.
Start engine.
2.
Squeeze auger clutch bail against handlebar to
engage auger.
3.
Lift handlebar so auger contacts surface to be
cleared. Lift the handlebar only high enough to
propel unit forward.
NOTE:
Do not lift so high to allow snow to kick back
from under unit.
Tips for Operation
Snow is best removed as soon as possible after a snow
fall.
To clear an area, run unit in an overlapping series of
paths. For large areas; start in the middle and throw
snow to each side, so snow is not cleared more than
once.
ALWAYS direct snow away from area to be cleared and
with direction of the wind.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT overload unit capacity by
attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
TO TRAVEL TO ANOTHER WORK AREA
1.
Release auger clutch bail to disengage auger.
2.
Press down on handlebar enough to raise front of
unit slightly off the ground and push or pull unit.
TO TRANSPORT UNIT
Use extra care when loading or unloading unit onto
trailer or truck.
Secure unit chassis to transport vehicle. NEVER
secure by rods or linkages that could be damaged.
Always shutoff engine for transport.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Check fuel level by looking at fuel level indicator on rear
of unit. Add fuel as required.
To add fuel to fuel tank:
IMPORTANT:
Two cycle engines require that oil be
mixed with fuel. Failure to mix oil with fuel will result in
seizure and severe damage to engine. DO NOT use
gasohol or gasoline containing alcohol because
alcohol will cause internal parts to deteriorate. See
Engine Manual for correct type and grade of fuel.
1.
ALWAYS place unit in open or well ventilated area.
2.
Stop engine and allow to cool.
3.
See engine manual for proper fuel/oil mixture.
4.
Clean fuel cap and surrounding area to prevent dirt
from entering fuel tank.
5.
Remove cap.
6.
Fill fuel tank with mixture. Tank capacity is 1.2
quarts (1.1 liters).
NOTE:
Fuel mixture left standing for prolonged periods
will begin to separate; thoroughly shake mixture before
use.
7.
Replace fuel cap and tighten.
CAUTION:
HIDDEN HAZARDS may result in
minor or moderate injury and/or damage to
unit. Stay alert for holes, rocks, roots, traffic,
and other hazards.
WARNING:
FLAMMABLE FUEL and its
EXPLOSIVE VAPORS can result in death or
serious injury.
Handle fuel with extreme care.
ALWAYS use an approved fuel container.
No Smoking! No Lighted Materials! No Open
