Operation
SNOW REMOVAL SUGGESTIONS
CAUTION
Always raise the snowthrower before turning or
backing to prevent damage to it.
Determine the best snow removal pattern before
beginning. Wind direction is an important factor to
consider. Rotate the spout to discharge snow downwind.
Plan the pattern so that you avoid throwing snow on
cleared areas on on yourself as you’re operating.
When land contour permits, it is best to travel in the
longest direction to minimize turning.
A WARNING
If the auger stalls or the chute plugs, disengage the
PTO, stop the engine and remove the key. Set the
parking brake and WAIT FOR MOVING PARTS
TO STOP. Remove the foreign object or clear the
spout before restarting engine.
In very deep or heavy snow, it may be necessary to make
the first pass with snowthrower partially raised, backing
up every few feet to clear the snow left on the surface.
Also, it may be necessary to slice off less than the full
width of the auger or to reduce ground speed. If the snow
stops flowing freely from the spout, use reverse to back
away until snowthrower clears itself.
