ANGER:
Hand contact
with the rotating
impeller
inside
the discharge
chute
is the most
common
cause
of injury
associated
with snowthrowers.
Never clear
or unclog
discharge
chute
with
your
hands,
or while
engine
is running.
Fingers
can quickly
become
caught
and
traumatic
amputation
or severe
laceration
can result.
, SHUT OFF THE ENGINEt
, Wait 10 seconds
to be sure that the impeller
blades
have
stopped
rotating.
, Always
use a clean-out
tool,
not your
hands.
A clean-out
tool (A, Figure 13) is attached
to either the handle
or
the top of the auger housing.
Use the clean-out
tool to remove
snow from the auger housing.

OPERATING
TiPS
1. Most efficient snowthrowing is accomplished when snow is
removed immediately after it falls.
2. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each swath
previously taken.
3. Snow should be discharged downwind whenever possible.
4. For normal usage, set the skids 1/8 inch (3 mm) below the
scraper bar. For extremely hard-packed snow surfaces, the
skids may be adjusted upward to ensure cleaning efficiency.
5. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, the skids should be set at
1-1/4 inch (32 mm) below the scraper bar (see Adjust
Skid
Height in the Maintenance
section of this manual). Rocks
and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the machine.
6. After the snowthrowing job has been completed, allow
the engine to idle for a few minutes, to melt snow and ice
accumulated on the engine.
7. Clean the snowthrower thoroughly after each use.
8. Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debris from
the entire snowthrower, and flush with water (if possible) to
remove all salt or other chemicals. Wipe snowthrower dry.
9. Before starting snowthrower, always inspect augers and
impeller for ice accumulation and/or debris, which could result
in snowthrower damage.
10. Check oil level before every start. Make sure the oil is at the
FULL mark on the oil fill cap/dipstick.
