OPERATING YOUR SNOW THROWER
STARTING
Please refer to ENGINE manual (separate document) for engine operation instructions.
CLEARING SNOW
Start the engine (see ENGINE manual) once your Snow Thrower has been running outside for several
minutes, it is now ready for use. Make sure the path in front of your Snow Thrower is free from people,
animals, objects, and all other obstructions except for snow.
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/Push back the auger control handle to start the augers and impeller turning.
2. Set the desired direction and speed using the speed control lever.
3. Engage/Pull up the drive control handle and direct the snow thrower into the snow to be cleared.
NOTICE: Do not change speed positions while the drive is engaged. Disengage the drive control
handle BEFORE changing speeds or directions. 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 and impeller 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.
Use the supplied snow clean out tool to clear the obstruction. After unclogging, wipe the tool clean, and
place it in the holder on top of the auger housing.
