The operation of any snowthrower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,which can
result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before beginning snowthrower
Operation. We recommend standard safety glasses or Wide Vision Safety Mask for over spectacles.
SNOWTHROWER OPERATION
The most effective use of the snowthrower will be established
by experience, taking into consideration the terrain, wind
conditions and building location which will determine the
direction of the discharge chute.
NOTE: Do not blow snow towards a building as hidden
objects could be blown with sufficient force to cause
damage.
1. Start the engine as described in section “To Start Engine”
(see Figure 10).
2. Adjust snow chute deflector. Loosen wing nut on the side
of the snow chute and raise chute deflector for more dis-
tance. Tighten wing nut. (see Figure 9).
3. Using crank, position the discharge chute to discharge
snow with the wind.
4. Select proper speed for snow conditions as outlined be-
low and set speed select lever to desired position.
NOTE: Always release traction drive clutch lever
before moving speed select lever.
Ground speed is determined by snow conditions. Select
the speed you desire by moving the speed selector into
the appropriate colored area on the control panel.
