3. Engage/depress the drive control lever (handle) and direct the snow thrower into the snow to be
cleared.
NOTICE: NEVER change speed/gear positions while the drive control lever (handle) 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 blade rotation by releasing the (left) auger control lever (handle).
3.
Remove Engine Safety Switch Key to stop engine operation…see ENGINE manual.
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 Remove the switch key to 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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Never perform maintenance while your snow thrower is running. Turn OFF the engine by
removing the switch key before performing any maintenance tasks on your Snow Thrower.
Proper maintenance of your snow thrower will help prolong its life. Please perform the following
maintenance procedures as required.
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/impeller
system 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.
