Tips for Operation
TRAVELING TO ANOTHER WORK
AREA
Snow is best removed as soon as possible
after a snow fall.
1.
Release auger clutch bail to disengage
auger.
To clear an area, run unit in an overlapping
series of paths. For large areas, start in the
middle and throw snow to each side, so snow
is not cleared more than once.
2.
Press down on handlebar enough to
raise front of unit slightly off the ground
and push or pull unit.
ALWAYS direct snow away from area to be
cleared and with direction of the wind.
TRANSPORT
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overload unit capacity
by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
ALWAYS shut off engine and drain fuel when
transporting unit on a truck or trailer.
Use extra care when loading or unloading
unit onto trailer or truck.
Secure unit chassis to transport vehicle.
NEVER secure by rods or linkages that could
be damaged.
DO NOT transport machine while engine is
running.
