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 broom to clear any remaining snow
from inside the housing. Shut off the engine and
wait for all moving parts to stop, and disconnect
the spark-plug wire. Remove all ice, snow, or other
debris from the machine.
•
Connect the spark-plug wire. With the engine
switch in the O position, pull the recoil-starter
FF
handle several times to prevent the recoil starter
from freezing up.

Transporting the Machine

WARNING
Using ramps that are not strong enough or
properly supported to load the machine onto
the transport vehicle could be dangerous. The
ramps could collapse, causing the machine to
fall, which could cause injury.
• Use proper ramps that are secured to the
truck or trailer.
• Keep your feet and legs out from under the
machine when loading and unloading.
Preparing to Transport the
Machine
Perform the following before transporting the machine:
•
Close the fuel-shutoff valve.
•
Use a heavy-duty trailer to transport the machine.
Place the machine in either a forward or reverse
gear, then block the wheels.
•
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer with
straps, chains, cables, or ropes.
•
Ensure that the trailer has all the necessary
lighting and marking as required by law.
