Throwing Snow
The rotor blades can throw stones, toys and
other foreign objects and cause serious personal
injury to the operator or to bystanders.
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects
that the rotor blades could pick up and throw.
Keep all children and pets away from the area
of operation.
Operating Tips
•
Remove the snow as soon as possible after it
falls.
•
To self-propel, raise the handle and tilt the
snowthrower slightly forward, lifting the wheels
off the ground. The more you tilt the handle
forward, the faster the snowthrower self-propels.
•
If the snowthrower does not propel itself forward
on slippery surfaces or in heavy snow, push
forward on the handle, but allow the snowthrower
to work at its own pace.
•
Overlap each swath to ensure complete snow
removal.
•
Discharge the snow downwind whenever
possible.
•
In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive
force when trying to operate frozen controls.
If you have difficulty operating any control or part,
start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.
Preventing Freeze-up after Use
•
Let the engine run for a few minutes to prevent
moving parts from freezing. Stop the engine, wait
for all moving parts to stop, and remove ice and
snow from the snowthrower.
•
With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle
several times and push the electric start button
once (if applicable) to prevent the recoil and
electric starters from freezing up.
