Pow’R’kraft Snow Blower PK30230L

Revision 9-28-16
It is easier and more efficient to remove snow
immediately after it falls.
The best time to remove snow is the early
morning. At this time the snow is usually dry
and has not been exposed to the direct sun
and warming temperatures.
Slightly overlap each successive path to
ensure all snow will be removed.
For large areas, start in the middle and throw
snow to each side, so snow is not cleared
more than once.
For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width
of snow removal by overlapping previous path
and moving slowly.
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, push
down slightly on the handle to avoid ingesting
rocks. Do not allow rocks and gravel to be
picked up and thrown from snow thrower.
Keep engine clean and clear of snow during
use. This will help air flow and extend engine
life.
After snow-throwing is completed, let the
engine run for a few minutes to help dry
off the moisture on the engine and prevent
moving parts from freezing. Engage the auger
to clear any remaining snow from inside
the housing. Rotate the discharge chute to
prevent it from freezing. Stop the engine, wait
for all moving parts to stop, and remove all
ice and snow from the snow thrower. With
the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle
several times to prevent the recoil starter from
freezing up.
Snow Throwing Tips
1. Shut off the engine.
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger has
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool or stick at
least 400mm (16”) long, not your hands.
Tip the handle forward slightly to allow the
rubber paddles on the auger to contact the
pavement and propel the snow thrower
forward. Pushing downward on the handle
will raise the auger off the ground and stop
forward motion.
Traveling
Unclogging Discharge Chute
Never use your hands to clear a
clogged discharge chute. Shut off
engine and remain behind handle
until all moving parts have stopped
before unclogging.
Excessive upward pressure on the
handle will result in premature wear
on the rubber auger paddles.
Always shut off engine, remove
key, and close fuel shut-off valve
when transporting unit on a truck
or trailer. Do not transport machine
while engine is running.
Use extra care when loading or unloading unit
onto trailer or truck.
Secure unit chassis to transport vehicle. Never
secure from rods or linkages that could be
damaged.
