5.
6.
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible,
and overlap each swath to ensure complete snow
removal. If wheels slip, shift into a lower gear to
reduce forward speed.
9.
In wet or slushy conditions, clogging of the
discharge chute will be reduced by maintaining
maximum engine speed and by not overloading
the engine.
Run snowthrower for a few minutes after
clearing snow so moving parts do not freeze.
Engage auger to clear any remaining snow from
inside housing.
10. In some snow and cold weather conditions, some
controls and moving parts may freeze. Therefore,
when any control becomes hard to operate, stop
the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop;
then check all parts for freeze up. DO NOT USE
EXCESSIVE FORCE AND TRY TO OPERATE
THE CONTROLS WHEN FROZEN. Free all
controls and moving parts before operating.

8.
Do not overload snowthrower by clearing snow
at too fast a rate. If engine slows down, shift to a
lower gear to reduce forward speed.
Always use full throttle (maximum engine
speed) when throwing snow.

•
Stay behind the handles and away from
discharge opening while operating the
snowthrower.
Keep face, hands, feet and any other part of
your body or clothing away from
concealed, moving or rotating parts.
Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing and
inspecting the snowthrower, and before
unclogging the discharge chute, shut engine
off and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Also, pull wire off spark plug and keep
wire away from the plug to prevent
accidental starting.
Support the auger blades off the ground so that
both the scraper and the auger blades (Fig. 19)
clear the level surface by at least 1/16 inch.
Note:
The scraper should be higher above the
pavement if the pavement surfaces on
which the snowthrower will be used
are cracked, rough or uneven.

USE A STICK, NOT YOUR HANDS, TO

DISCHARGE CHUTE.
