OPERATION
CLEAR A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE
DANGER: Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside
the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury
associated with snowthrowers. Never clear or unclog
discharge chute with your hands, or while engine is
running. Fingers can quickly become caught and
traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.
OPERATING TIPS
1. Most efficient snowthrowing is accomplished when snow is
removed immediately after it falls.
2. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each swath
previously taken.
3. Snow should be discharged downwind whenever possible.
4. For normal usage, set the skids 1/8 inch (3 mm) below the
scraper bar. For extremely hard-packed snow surfaces, the
skids may be adjusted upward to ensure cleaning efficiency.
5. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, the skids should be set at
1-1/4 inch (32 mm) below the scraper bar (see Adjust Skid
Height in the Maintenance section of this manual). Rocks
and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the machine.
6. After the snowthrowing job has been completed, allow the
engine to idle for a few minutes, to melt snow and ice
accumulated on the engine.
7. Clean the snowthrower thoroughly after each use.
8. Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debris from the
entire snowthrower, and flush with water (if possible) to remove
all salt or other chemicals. Wipe snowthrower dry.
9. Before starting snowthrower, always inspect augers and
impeller for ice accumulation and/or debris, which could result
in snowthrower damage.
10. Check oil level before every start. Make sure the oil is at the
FULL mark on the oil fill cap/dipstick.
Clean-Out Tool Figure 13
A
• SHUT OFF THE ENGINE!
• Wait 10 seconds to be sure that the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
• Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
A clean-out tool ( A , Figure 13) is attached to either the handle or
the top of the auger housing. Use the clean-out tool to remove
snow from the auger housing.
