ride up. If this happens, reduce forward speed by
shifting into a lower gear. If front still tends to
ride up, lift up on both handles to hold down
front of snowthrower.
5. Discharge snow downwind whenever possible,
and overlap each swath to ensure complete snow
removal. If wheels slip, shift into a lower gear to
reduce forward speed.
6. Run snowthrower for a few minutes after
clearing snow so moving parts do not freeze.
Engage auger/impeller to clear any remaining
snow from inside housing.
7. Do not overload snowthrower by clearing snow
at too fast a rate. If engine slows down, shift to a
lower gear to reduce forward speed.
8. Always use full throttle (maximum engine
speed) when throwing snow.
9. In wet or slushy conditions, clogging of the
discharge chute will be reduced by maintaining
maximum engine speed and by not overloading
the engine.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• When snowthrower is in operation,
impeller and auger can be rotating.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• ROTA
TING IMPELLER OR AUGER
CAN CUT OFF OR INJURE FINGERS
OR HANDS.
HOW TO AV
OID THE HAZARD
• Before adjusting, cleaning, repairing and
inspecting the snowthrower, and before
unclogging the discharge chute, SHUT
ENGINE OFF AND W
AIT FOR ALL
MOVING PAR
TS T
O STOP. Also, pull
wire off spark plug and keep wire away
from the plug to prevent accidental
starting.
• USE A STICK, NOT YOUR HANDS, TO
REMOVE OBSTRUCTIONS FROM
DISCHARGE CHUTE.
• Stay behind the handles and away from
discharge opening while operating the
snowthrower.
• Keep face, hands, feet and any other part of
your body or clothing away from
concealed, moving or rotating parts.
10. In some snow and cold weather conditions, some
controls and moving parts may freeze. Therefore,
when any control becomes hard to operate, stop
the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop;
then check all parts for freeze up. DO NOT USE
EXCESSIVE FORCE AND TRY TO OPERATE
THE CONTROLS WHEN FROZEN. Free all
controls and moving parts before operating.
