Operating Tips

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
after starting. The engine will not develop full power
until it reaches operating temperature.
•
•
Stop the engine by removing the ignition key.
Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which
secures it to the rear of the auger housing.
Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to
dislodge and scoop any snow and ice which has
formed in and near the chute assembly.
WARNING:
The muffler, engine and
•
surrounding areas become hot and can
cause a burn. Do not touch.

Always operate the snow thrower with the throttle
control in the FAST (rabbit) position.

snow and ice from the chute assembly or
auger housing

•
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous swath.
Set the skid shoes 1/4” below the scraper bar for
normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted
upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward
when using on gravel or crushed rock.
•
•
Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on
the rear of the auger housing, reinsert the ignition
key and start the snow thrower’s engine.
While standing in the operator’s position (behind
the snow thrower), engage the auger control for a
few seconds to clear any remaining snow and ice
from the chute assembly.

thrower thoroughly after each use.
