SNOW THROWER PREPARATION
PLEASE REFER TO ENGINE MANUAL (SEPARATE DOCUMENT) FOR ENGINE
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS.
The following section describes steps to prepare your snow thrower for use. If after reading this section,
you are unsure about how to perform any of the steps please call 1-800-791-9458 for customer service.
Failure to perform these steps properly can damage your snow thrower or shorten its life expectancy.
Review the SAFETY section in this manual and the ENGINE manual before operating the engine
and snow thrower.
WARNING! Keep the area of operation free from foreign objects that can be thrown by the auger and/or
impeller blades. Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden from view
by surrounding snow. If the snow thrower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use, stop
the snow thrower immediately, remove the obstruction, and inspect it for damage. Repair or replace any
damaged parts before restarting and operating you snow thrower.
•
Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware that the normal noise
of the snow thrower when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear approaching people.
• Start your clearing path by throwing snow in a back and forth motion. To clear in the opposite
direction, stop your snow thrower and pivot it on its’ wheels to face the opposite direction. Make sure
to overlap clearing paths.
• Determine the direction of the wind. If possible, move in the same direction as the wind so that the
snow is not thrown against the wind, back into your face and on the just cleared path.
WARNING! DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS TO UNCLOG CHUTE. Stop the motor before
removing debris. Use the supplied Clean-out tool to unclog the chute. Do not walk in front of your
running snow thrower. Do not direct discharged snow towards bystanders.
•
Do not apply additional man-made load to the engine since this may damage the engine.
• Some parts of your snow thrower may freeze under extreme temperature conditions. Do not attempt
to operate your snow thrower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while your snow thrower is in use,
stop the unit and inspect it for frozen parts. Thaw all parts before restarting and operating your snow
thrower. Never force parts or controls that are frozen. Never use an open flame of any sort to thaw
frozen parts.
Pre-Operation Inspection - IMPORTANT!!!
Before using your snow thrower for the first time, check the following:
•
Have you read and followed all setup and operation procedures for the engine as outlined in
the ENGINE manual?
• Has the engine been filled with oil and gasoline to the proper level?
• Are all snow thrower components properly attached and assembled?
• Are there any broken or damaged parts?
• Are all fasteners tight?
• Are the tires inflated to the proper pressure?
