difficult to operate, stop the motor, disconnect the extension
cord, and check for frozen parts. Do not use excessive force
when trying to operate frozen controls. Bring the appliance
indoors to thaw frozen controls before operating it.
•
When operating the appliance, keep the wheels 2.5 cm (1
inch) off the pavement by tipping the appliance forward. This
helps prevent the snow from building up on the wheels.
•
After clearing the snow, let the motor run for a few minutes
so that moving parts do not freeze. Then shut off the motor,
wait for all moving parts to stop, and wipe the ice and snow
off the appliance. Rotate the chute crank several times to
remove any snow.
