SNOWTHROWING TECHNIQUES)
CAUTION A
OBSERVE SURROUNDINGS FOR ANY
VEHICULAR TRAFFIC OR OBSTACLES.
TAKE NOTE OF WIND DIRECTION AND
CONDITION OF SNOW (LIGHT FLUFFY,
MODERATE, HEAVY WET). OPERATE
SNOW THROWER ONLY IF CONDITIONS
ARE SAFE.
A. Rotate Chute to the direction in which you
would like to throw the snow.
B. Adjust Discharge Deflector upward or downward
to achieve the desired distance.
C. Move back to the Operator Position and move
the unit to the area to be cleared.
D. Move the Auger Clutch Control down to the
Handle and start the Auger rotating. Lift the
Upper Handle slightly tilting forward onto
Auger flighting which allows the unit to pull
itself into the snow. You will have to adjust
the rate at which you move through the
snow to match the snow condition and unit
performance. During extreme wet heavy
snows, it may be necessary to remove less
than a full width.
E. At some point, you will need to change directions
when clearing snow. Always turn the Discharge
Chute to direct the snow onto uncleared areas
(preferably downwind) and adjust the deflector
accordingly for conditions.
F. When you have completed throwing snow, move
the unit to a cleared area. Brush excess snow
off unit. Let unit run with Auger rotating for a
period of 5 minutes. Turn unit “OFF” and return
to storage.
