GB–10
IMPORTANT: Excessive running of the
electric starter could damage the starter due
to overheating. To prevent possible damage,
do not run electric starter more than 10 times
at intervals of 5 seconds ON, 5 seconds OFF.
Then wait more than 40 minutes before
continuing to run starter to allow starter to
cool. Before repeating engine starting
procedure, check that ignition key switch is
ON, and make sure there is fresh fuel in fuel
tank. If engine continues to fail to start,
servicing may be needed.
5. RECOIL STARTING–Hold snowthrower with
one hand and pull recoil starter vigorously with
other hand.
6. When engine starts, push in choke slowly.
7. TO ENGAGE ROTOR–Squeeze control bar to
handle.
8. TO STOP ENGINE–Release control bar, turn
key to OFF, and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving operator’s position.
Operating Tips (Fig. 9)
1. ADJUSTING DISCHARGE CHUTE–Rotate
chute crank clockwise to move discharge chute
to the right and counterclockwise to move chute
to the left. Deflector handle on top of discharge
chute is used to control the height of the snow
stream. Do not overtighten deflector mounting
nuts so excessive force is required to operate
deflector.
2. SELF–PROPELLING ACTION–The
snowthrower clears down to the ground and
propels itself forward when the rotor blades
strike the ground. The wheels do not have to
touch the ground in order to self-propel. The
further you tilt the handle forward, the faster the
snowthrower self-propels. However, depth and
height of snow will affect forward speed. Always
overlap each swath and discharge downwind
when possible.
3. In some snow and cold weather conditions, some
controls and moving parts may freeze solid.
Therefore, when any control becomes hard to
operate, stop the engine; then check all parts for
excessive freeze up. DO NOT USE
EXCESSIVE FORCE WHEN TRYING TO
OPERATE THE CONTROLS IF FROZEN.
Free all controls and moving parts before
operating.
4. AFTER CLEARING SNOW — Let engine run
for a few minutes so ice does not freeze moving
parts solid. After engine is shut off, wipe ice and
snow off entire unit. Operate chute crank several
times to clear mechanism of snow.
IMPORTANT: STORE SNOWTHROWER
IN OPERATING POSITION ON ITS
WHEELS. TIPPING OR STORING UNIT
ON ITS NOSE MAY CAUSE HARD
STARTING.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
• When engine is running, discharge rotor is
turning.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Objects thrown from discharge chute can
cause personal injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
• Keep yourself and other people away from
discharge opening when engine is running.
• Before leaving operating position, stop
engine by turning key to OFF.
