General Operating Instructions

Snow Removal Suggestions

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 and on yourself as you are operating.

When land contour permits, it is best to travel in the longest direction to minimize turning.

In very deep or heavy snow, it may be necessary to make the first pass with snowthrower partially raised, backing up every few feet and lowering the snowthrower 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 reduce ground speed.

If snow stops flowing freely from the spout, back away until the snowthrower clears itself.

DANGER

If the auger stalls or the chute plugs, DISENGAGE THE ELECTRIC CLUTCH, STOP THE ENGINE AND REMOVE THE KEY. SET THE PARKING BRAKE.

WAIT FOR MOVING PARTS TO STOP. Remove the foreign object or clear the spout with a piece of wood before restarting the engine. Never place hands into auger housing or spout to clear jammed object. Auger may rotate when object is removed.

Daily Storage

1.Run the snowthrower a few minutes after blowing snow to prevent freeze-up of auger.

2.Allow tractor engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.

Off-Season Storage

1.Remove snowthrower from the tractor.

2.Use water pressure or a brush to thoroughly clean the housing.

3.Paint, or lightly coat with oil, any area where paint has been worn or chipped away.

4.Lubricate the snowthrower.

5.Store the snowthrower and hitch in a dry place.
