OPERATING TIPS
1. Most efficient snowthrowing is accomplished when snow is
removed immediately after it falls.
2. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each swath pre-
viously taken.
3. Snow should be discharged downwind whenever possible.
4. For normal usage, set the skids 1/8 inch (3 mm) below the
scraper bar. For extremely hard-packed snow surfaces, the
skids may be adjusted upward to insure cleaning efficiency.
5. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, the skids should be set at
1-1/4 inch (32 mm) below the scraper bar (see “To Adjust
Skid Height”, in the MAINTENANCE section in this manual).
Rocks and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the
machine.
6. After the snowthrowing job has been completed, allow the
engine to idle for a few minutes, to melt snow and ice accu-
mulated on the engine.
7. Clean the snowthrower thoroughly after each use.
8. Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debris from the
entire snowthrower, and flush with water (if possible) to
remove all salt or other chemicals. Wipe snowthrower dry.
9. Before starting snowthrower, always inspect augers and
impeller for ice accumulation and/or debris, which could
result in snowthrower damage.
10. Check oil level before every start. Make sure the oil is at the
FULL mark on the oil fill cap/dipstick.
