Operating Tips
DANGER
When the machine is in operation, the impeller
and auger rotate and can injure or amputate
hands or feet.
• Before adjusting, cleaning, inspecting,
troubleshooting, or repairing the machine,
shut off the engine and wait for all moving
parts to stop. Disconnect the wire from
the spark plug and keep it away from the
plug to prevent someone from accidentally
starting the engine.
• Remove an obstruction from the discharge
chute; refer to
Clearing a Clogged
Discharge Chute (page 14) . Use the
snow-cleanout tool ( Figure 9 ), not your
hands, to remove an obstruction from the
discharge chute.
• Stay behind the handles and away from
the discharge opening while operating the
machine.
• Keep your face, hands, feet, and any other
part of your body or clothing away from
concealed, moving, or rotating parts.
WARNING
The impeller can throw stones, toys, and other
foreign objects and cause serious personal
injury to you or bystanders.
• Keep the area to be cleared free of all
objects that the auger could pick up and
throw.
• Keep all children and pets away from the
area of operation.
•
Always set the throttle to the F
AST
position when
throwing snow.
•
If the engine slows down under a load or the
wheels slip, shift the machine into a lower gear.
•
If the front of the machine rides up, shift the
machine into a lower gear. If the front continues to
ride up, lift up on the handles.
After Operation
After Operation Safety
•
Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel
tank inside a building where ignition sources are
present, such as hot water heaters, space heaters,
or clothes dryers. Allow the engine to cool before
storing the machine in any enclosure.
•
When storing the machine for more than 30
days, refer to
Storage (page 22) for important
information.
•
Run the machine a few minutes after throwing
snow to prevent freeze-up of the collector and
impeller.
Preventing Freeze-up after
Use
•
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.
•
After using the machine, let the engine run for
a few minutes to prevent moving parts from
freezing. Engage the auger/impeller to clear any
remaining snow from inside the housing. Rotate
the Quick Stick to prevent it from freezing. Shut off
the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove all ice and snow from the machine.
•
With the engine off, pull the recoil-start handle
several times and push the electric-start button
once to prevent the recoil starter and electric
starter from freezing up.
