OPERATION
WARNING: The operation of any snow thrower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in
severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before beginning snow thrower operation. We recommend
standard safety glasses or Wide Vision Safety Mask over spectacles.
OPERATE THE SNOW THROWER
NOTE: Always release the traction control lever before moving
the speed select lever.

speed select lever to one of the following positions as determined by

The most effective use of the snow thrower will be established by experi-
ence, taking into consideration the terrain, wind conditions, and building
location which will determine the direction of the discharge chute.
NOTICE: Do not throw snow toward a building as hidden objects
could be thrown with sufficient force to cause damage.
