The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At this time
the snow is usually dry and has not been exposed to the direct sun
and warming temperatures.
Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all snow will be
removed.
For large areas, start in the middle and throw snow to each side, so
snow is not cleared more than once.
For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow removal by
overlapping previous path and moving slowly.
Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This will help air
flow and extend engine life.
After snow-throwing is completed, let the engine run for a few
minutes to help dry off the moisture on the engine and prevent
moving parts from freezing. Engage the auger/impeller to clear
any remaining snow from inside the housing. Rotate the discharge
chute to prevent it from freezing. Stop the engine, wait for all
moving parts to stop, and remove all ice and snow from the snow
thrower. With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle several
times to prevent the recoil starter from freezing up.
It is easier and more efficient to remove snow immediately after
it falls.
WARM START
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke control in the OPEn
position and do not use primer.
COLD START - RECOIL STARTER
1. be sure fuel shutoff valve is in the OPEn position.
2. Place RUn / STOP switch in RUn position.
3. Rotate choke control to CLOSED
position.
4. Push the primer 2 or 3 times. When temperature is below 15
o
F
(-25
o
C), additional priming may be needed. When temperature
is above 50
o
F (10
o
C), priming is not necessary.
Over priming may cause flooding, preventing the
engine from starting. If you do flood the engine, wait
a few minutes before attempting to start and do not
push the primer.
5. Grasp recoil starter handle and pull rope out slowly until it
pulls harder. Let rope rewind slowly.
6. Pull rope with a rapid continuous full arm stroke. Do not allow
starter rope to snap back.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until engine starts.
8. When the engine starts, release the recoil starter handle and
slowly move the choke control to the OPEn
position.
To travel from one work area to another:
1. Set throttle to slow or part-throttle position.
2. Press down on handle bars enough to raise front of unit slightly
off surface.
3. Engage drive clutch without engaging auger clutch.
Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes, engine
will not develop full power until it has reached normal
operating temperature.
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 is run for a few minutes.
