Headlights
The snow thrower is equipped with 2 headlights that can be
used to illuminate the forward path in the dark. To use the
lights, turn on the light switch located on the back side under
the crank rod of the snow thrower (Fig. 13).
NOTE: The lights will only turn ON when the snow thrower
is running. After finishing your work session, REMEMBER to
TURN OFF the light switch.

WARNING!
Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken
glass, nails, wire, or string, can be picked up and thrown by
the snow thrower, causing serious personal injury.
Remove all foreign objects from the area to be plowed before
operating the snow thrower.
1. Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can
become thrown by the rotor 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, disconnect the extension cord,
remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit for damage.
Repair or replace any damaged part before restarting and
operating the unit.
2. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of
operation. Be aware that the normal noise of the machine
when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear
approaching people.
3. When moving the snow thrower, use the wheels on one
side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the snow thrower on
this pivot point to move it forward or backward.
4. Start your clearing path near the electrical outlet and
work outward, throwing snow in a back and forth motion.
To clear in the opposite direction, step over the cord
and pivot the snow thrower on its wheels. Make sure to
overlap clearing paths.
5. Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the same
direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown
against the wind (and thus back into your face and onto
the just cleared path).
6. While moving the snow thrower, do not drag the power
cable violently or roughly. The snow thrower should move
within the range that the cable can reach.
7. Do not push the snow thrower with excessive force. You
should push the machine gently and evenly in accordance
with the unit’s throw rate.
8. Do not apply additional man-made load to the engine
since this may cause engine damage.
9. Some parts of the snow thrower may freeze under
extreme temperature conditions. Do not attempt to
operate the snow thrower with frozen parts. If the parts
freeze while the snow thrower is in use, stop the snow
thrower, unplug the extension cord, and inspect for frozen
parts. Free all parts before restarting or operating the
snow thrower. Never force controls that have frozen.
10. When working on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved surfaces,
avoid throwing loose surface material along with the snow
by pushing down on the handle to raise the scraper bar at
the base of the unit above the pebbles or gravel.

WARNING!
Never direct the discharge chute at the
operator, at bystanders, at vehicles, or at nearby windows. The
discharged snow and foreign objects accidentally picked up
by the snow thrower can cause serious damage and personal
injury.
Always orient the discharge chute in the opposite direction
from where you, bystanders, surrounding vehicles, or windows
are located.
NOTE: The chute crank shaft rotation is stiff in the first initial
use. It will loosen with use.
1. The discharge chute can be adjusted 180 degrees by
rotating the chute crank. Rotate the chute control crank
clockwise to move the discharge chute to the left (Fig.14)
and counterclockwise to move the chute to the right
(Fig.15).
