Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow.Use the
drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed.
It is easier and more efficient to remove snow imme-

The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At
this time the snow is usually dry and has not been ex-
posed to the direct sun and warming temperatures.
WARM START - ELECTRIC STARTER
Follow the steps above, keeping the choke control in the
OFF position.
