OPERATION

OPERATING TIPS

1.For optimum snow blower efficiency, adjust ground speed, not the throttle. REMEMBER - if the wheels slip, forward speed will be reduced. The engine is designed to deliver optimum performance at full throttle and must be run at this power setting at all times.

2.Most efficient snowblowing is accomplished when snow is removed immediately after it falls.

3.For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each swath previously taken.

4.Snow should be discharged downwind whenever pos- sible.

5.For normal usage, set the skids one-eighth inch (3 mm) below the scraper bar. For extremely hard-packed snow surfaces, the skids may be adjusted upward to insure cleaning efficiency.

6.On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, the skids should be set at 1-1/4 inch (32 mm) below the scraper bar (see To Adjust Skid Height, in the Adjustment/Repair section in this manual). Rocks and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the machine.

7.After the snowblowing job has been completed, allow the engine to idle for a few minutes, to melt snow and ice ac- cumulated on the engine.

8.Remove ice and snow accumulation from the entire s- now blower to prevent obstructions and possible dam- age when snow blower is subsequently operated.

9.Before starting snow blower, always inspect augers and impeller for ice accumulation and/or debris, which could result in snow blower damage.

10.Check oil level before every start, fill to "SAFE" indication prior to operating snow blower.

To help avoid possible freeze-up of starter, proceed as follows:

Recoil Starter:

With engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid continuous full arm stroke three (3) or four (4) times.

NOTE: The unusual sound made by pulling starter rope will not harm the engine or the starter.

Electric Starter:

1.Connect the "POWER CORD" to the "SWITCH BOX" and then to a 120 volt AC receptacle.

2.With engine running, push the "STARTER BUTTON" and spin the starter for several seconds.

NOTE: The unusual sound made by spinning the starter rope will not harm the engine or the starter.

3.Disconnect the "POWER CORD" from the receptacle first and then from the "SWITCH BOX".
