• Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can become thrown by the impeller.
Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden from view by
surrounding snow. If the snow thrower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use,
stop the snow thrower, disconnect the power supply, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit
for damage. Repair or replace any damaged part before restarting and operating the unit.
• Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware that the normal
noise of the machine when turned on may make it difcult for you to hear approaching people.
• When moving the snow thrower, use the wheels on one side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the
snow thrower on this pivot point to move it forward or backward.
• Start your clearing path outward, throwing snow in a back and forth motion. To clear in the
opposite direction, pivot the snow thrower on its wheels. Make sure to overlap clearing paths.
• Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the same direction as the wind so that the snow is not
thrown against the wind (and thus back onto you and on the just cleared path).
• Do not push the snow thrower with excessive force. You should push the machine gently and at a
consistent speed in accordance with the unit's throw rate.
• Some parts of the snow thrower may freeze under extreme temperature conditions. Do not
attempt to operate the snow thrower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while the snow thrower
is in use, stop the snow thrower, disconnect the power supply, and inspect for frozen parts. Free
all parts before restarting or operating the snow thrower. Never force controls that are frozen.
• When working on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved surfaces, avoid throwing loose surface material
along with the snow by pushing down on the handle, or adjusting the skid plates to raise the
scraper at the base of the unit above the pebbles or gravel.
OPERATING TIPS
WARNING
If the snow thrower hits a foreign object while it is in use, the object could be thrown in the direction
of the operator or a bystander. Thrown objects could cause serious personal injury. Keep the area
to be cleared free of all foreign objects that may be picked up and thrown by the impeller.
