CLEARING SNOW
1. Press down on the handlebar to raise the front of the snowthrower
slightly. Roll the snowthrower over to the snow area.
2. Use the chute guide handle
(page 4) to adjust the direction for
the discharged snow to travel.
3. Engage the auger clutch lever [1].
The auger will begin to spin.
4. Tilt the snowthrower
forward slightly ]1]
with the handlebar to
engage the auger into
the snow. The auger
will then pull the
snowthrower forward
and discharge the
snow.
5. To stop, lower the
handlebar slightly,
then release the
auger clutch lever.
SNOW-CLEARING TIPS
For best efficiency, clear snow before it melts, refreezes, and
hardens.
Operating tips for clearing hard or deep snow:
• Clear snow with a back and forth motion. Release the auger clutch
lever, then press down on the handlebar to raise the auger housing
when pulling the snowthrower backwards.
• Clear a narrower swath. Make several passes with the auger
overlapping the cleared areas.
REMOVING OBSTRUCTIONS
If the discharge chute or snowthrowing mechanism becomes
restricted:
1. Stop the engine.
2. Make sure that all rotating parts have come to a complete stop.
3. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug (page 9).
4. Use a plastic stick to clear the obstruction.
