moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force
when trying to operate frozen controls. If you have
difficulty operating any control or part, start the
engine and let it run for a few minutes.
Important: Hand contact with the rotating
rotor blades inside the discharge chute is the
most common cause of injury associated with
snowthrowers. Never use your hand to clean out
the discharge chute.

Preventing Freeze-up after Use
•
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects
that the rotor blades could pick up and throw.
•
Let the engine run for a few minutes to prevent
moving parts from freezing. Stop the engine, wait
for all moving parts to stop, and remove ice and
snow from the machine.
•
Keep all children and pets away from the area
of operation.
•
•
Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.
•
•
•
Clean off any snow and ice from the base of the
chute.
If the machine does not propel itself forward on
slippery surfaces or in heavy snow, push forward on
the handle, but allow the machine to work at its own
pace.
Rotate the discharge chute left and right to free it
from any ice buildup.
With the ignition key in the Off position, pull the
recoil starter handle several times or connect the
electrical cord to a power source and the machine
and push the electric start button once (model 38589
