6.8 Operation
⚠ IMPORTANT: Keep hands clear of belt and tines while engine is running.
⚠ WARNING: For safe operation, the power to drive wheel should immediately stop when clutch
lever is released. If it does not, adjust belt and cable tension as described in Section 7 in this
manual. Never leave the plow unattended with the engine running.
Be careful when plowing in hard ground. The plow may catch in the ground and suddenly stop. If
this occurs, let go of the clutch lever and lift plow handles up to clear plow. Use caution when
beginning to plow.
6.9 Operation Tips
To acquire the knack of letting the plow do the work without effort on the part of the operator,
we offer the following suggestions:
1. Operate the plow at about ¾ throttle.
2. Don’t hurry the job – proceed at a slow walk – give the machine time to do its job.
3. Concentrate on keeping your arms relaxed (There is a natural tendency for any beginner
to tense up). Operating the plow actually takes very little effort. Let the plow do the work.
4. When plowing on sloping ground, turn the front of the machine uphill to sufficiently
counteract the tendency to run downhill.
5. For best results, operate at reduced throttle settings when ground is extremely hard or
rough.
6. Tighten all nuts and bolts periodically.
DANGER
To prevent personal injury, the belt drive must disengage immediately when clutch lever
is released. If it does not, stop the plow, adjust belt and cable tension as described in
Adjustments section of this manual. Never leave the plow unattended with the engine
running. Children are attracted to a running plow and could be injured if struck.
WARNING
Keep hands clear of belt engine is running. Never attempt to adjust or clean while engine
is running, at risk of sever injury.
