WARNING
A gap between the discharge chute and the chute deflector may
allow the machine to throw snow and objects in the direction of
the operator. Thrown objects could cause serious personal injury.
•
Do not force the chute deflector too far forward so that a gap
appears between the discharge chute and chute deflector.
•
Do not adjust the chute deflector with the power control bar
engaged. Release the power control bar before adjusting the
chute deflector.
Operating Tips
WARNING
If the machine hits an object while in operation, the object could
be thrown in operator's or bystander's direction. Thrown objects
could cause serious personal injury.

Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects which may be
picked up and thrown by the rotor blades.
Interlock button
•
Check the condition of the machine before operating it to ensure
that the rotor turns freely.
Note: You may release the interlock button after you squeeze and
hold the power control bar to the handle.
•
•
Always keep children and pets away from the area of operation.
2.
To stop the motor, release the power control bar.
Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys, or other objects
which the rotor blades can throw. Such items could be covered by
snowfall and go unnoticed. If the machine strikes an object during
operation, stop the machine, unplug the extension cord, remove
the obstruction, and check the machine for damage.
Note: When you stop the machine after you have finished
removing the snow, also remove the key and disconnect the
extension cord.
•
•
•
Begin removing snow near the electrical outlet and work outward.
Blow back and forth, not away from and toward the outlet.
Adjusting the Discharge Chute and Chute
Deflector
When turning at the end of a swath, step over the cord and turn
the machine.
To adjust the discharge chute, move the handle on the chute control rod
in the direction that you wish to direct the snow stream (Figure 6 and
Figure 7).
Always overlap each swath and discharge the snow downwind
when possible.
To adjust the chute deflector (and therefore the height of the snow
stream), squeeze the trigger and raise or lower the chute deflector
(Figure 11).
WARNING
When using the discharge chute handle, never direct the
snow discharge chute at the operator or bystanders. The
machine can throw objects and cause serious personal injury.
When using the discharge chute handle, always turn the
discharge chute in the opposite direction from where you or
bystanders are standing.
•
•
Keep the extension cord clear of obstructions, sharp objects, and
all moving parts. Do not pull sharply on cord or abuse it in any
manner. Inspect the extension cord frequently for damage that
may result in an electric shock. If the extension cord is damaged,
replace it.
In cold and snowy weather conditions, some controls and moving
parts may freeze. Therefore, if any control becomes difficult to
operate, stop the motor, disconnect the extension cord, and check
for frozen parts. Do not use excessive force when trying to operate
frozen controls. Bring the machine indoors to thaw frozen controls
before operating it.
•
•
When operating the machine, keep the wheels 1 inch (2.5 cm) off
the pavement by tipping the machine forward. This helps prevent
the snow from building up on the wheels.

Chute deflector trigger
After clearing the snow, let the motor run for a few minutes so that
moving parts do not freeze. Then shut off the motor, wait for all
moving parts to stop, and wipe the ice and snow off the machine.
Rotate the chute crank several times to remove any snow.
