Adjust the chute outlet to the desired direction.
Turn the chute rotation handle clockwise or
counter-clockwise until the desired position is
reached.
WARNING! Never direct the chute outlet
toward people or animals. While snow may
seem harmless, it can contain rocks or other
debris that can cause serious injury when
projected through the chute.
1. Engage/depress the auger control handle to
start the augers turning.
If the snow is deeper than the height of the auger,
remove it in several steps taking narrower
swaths. Make several passes with the auger
overlapping the cleared areas and reduce
forward speed.
For the best clearing efficiency, clear snow
before it melts, refreezes and hardens. Hard
packed and wet snow can be very difficult to
clear.
Clearing wet heavy snow can be a challenge,
depending on ambient temperature, humidity
levels, and overall climate conditions including
actual snow conditions, there may be no 100%
solution as snow may be too wet or compacted to
move or throw. Wet snow will tend to clog and
stick more to the augers and chute. Keep the
auger engaged as much as possible when
clearing wet snow to help prevent clogging.
WARNING! If snow is filled with foreign
material, damage to the snow thrower may
result. Avoid snow with foreign materials.
Stopping
When finished using your Snow Thrower,
perform the following steps to shut it down.
1. Engage the auger for 30 seconds to clear any
remaining snow inside your Snow Thrower.
2. Stop the auger by releasing the left control
handle.
3. Set the engine switch to the OFF position.
See ENGINE manual for stopping procedures.
4. Remove snow from all Snow Thrower
surfaces including the auger housing and
chute areas.
Clearing Restrictions
If the snow discharge chute or auger housing
becomes clogged STOP the engine, and make
sure that all rotating parts have come to a
complete stop. Remove the spark plug cap from
the spark plug.
Use a snow clean out tool to clear the
obstruction.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Never perform maintenance while
your Snow Thrower is running. Turn OFF the
engine before performing any maintenance
tasks on your Snow Thrower.
WARNING! Accumulation of debris around
the muffler can cause a fire. Inspect and clean
before every use.
Proper maintenance of your Snow Thrower will
help prolong its life. Please perform the following
maintenance procedures as required.
Please read the ENGINE manual for engine
maintenance procedures.
Do not attempt to repair your Snow Thrower
unless you have the proper tools and instructions
for disassembly and repair.
Check the bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe
working condition.
After each snow removal session, run the Snow
Thrower for a few minutes to prevent the auger
from freezing. Stop the engine, wait for all
revolving parts to stop completely, and wipe
residual ice and snow off the unit. Rotate the
chute rotation handle several times to remove
any excess snow.
