Operation
NOTE: Before using this machine, make sure that the power
source you will use complies with the specifications detailed
in this manual. Before inserting the plug into the socket, verify
that the snow thrower’s auger and rubber plates are firmly
secured, and that the rubber plates are facing the correct
direction. Perform a test run to ensure that the rotor turns
freely.
Securing the Extension Cord
1.
For safe and efficient use of your snow thrower, use only
a UL-rated extension cord recommended for outdoor use.
Refer to the Extension Cord Chart on
page 2.
2. Push a loop of the extension cord through the slot on the
cord lock from the opposite side of the restraint hook.
Position the loop over the hook and pull the cable back
through the slot (Fig. 2

.
3. Insert the female end of the extension cord into the
appliance's polarized male plug (Fig. 24).
4. Note that the snow thrower has a polarized male plug –
one prong in the plug is slightly longer and wider than the
other (Fig. 25). The extension cord female end should be
likewise polarized so that the extension cord fits snugly
into the appliance plug.
