Removing snow
Before starting work, thoroughly inspect the area where
the equipment is to be used and remove all doormats
sleds, boards, wires and any other foreign objects.
Check the condition of the snow thrower before operating
it to ensure that the auger turns freely.
Check the auger for wear and tear at regular intervals.
Make sure all fasteners on the snow thrower (screws,
nuts, etc.) are fully tightened.
OPERATING
Position the discharge chute so that snow will discharge
in a safe direction. Do not direct the discharge towards
people or areas where property can be damaged. Keep
children, pets and others away for the work area. Do not
walk in front of the snow thrower when it is running.
Direct the discharge to the right or left by turning the
discharge chute with the chute crank. The chute can be
adjusted up to 180 degrees.
The chute deflector on the top of the discharge chute
controls the height of the discharge. Loosen both of the
knobs to raise or lower the deflector to the desired height
and tighten the knobs to secure the deflector.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the knobs.
For the most efficient snow removal throw the snow
downwind and slightly overlap each swath.
Push the snow thrower forward at a comfortable rate of
speed, yet slow enough to clear the path completely. The
width and depth of the snow determines your forward
speed.
Start your clearing path near the electrical outlet and
work outward, throwing snow in a back and forth motion.
When turning at the end of a swath, step over the cord
and turn the snow thrower. Use the wheel on one side as
the pivot point. Slightly tilt the snow thrower on this pivot
point while turning.
The snow thrower can remove up to 12 inches deep in
one pass.
Clear snow often, before it gets too deep. It is best to
remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.
Some parts of the snow thrower may freeze under
extreme temperature conditions. If parts freeze while the
snow thrower is in use, stop the snow thrower, unplug the
extension cord and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts
of ice before restarting or operating the snow thrower. Do
not attempt to operate the snow thrower with frozen parts
or try to force controls that are frozen.
