SNOW THROWING TIPS

For maximum snow thrower efficiency in removing snow, adjust ground speed, NEVER the throttle. Go slower in deep, freezing, or wet snow. If the tracks slip, re- duce forward speed. The engine is

designed to deliver maximum perfor- mance at full throttle and should be run at

this power setting at all times. Most effi- cient snow blowing is accomplished when the snow is removed immediately after it falls.

For complete snow removal, slightly over- lap each path previously taken. Usa more overlap in deep snow to prevent overload- ing.

The snow should be discharged down wind whenever possible. In windy condi- tions, lower the chute deflector to direct discharged snow close to the ground,

where it is less likely to blow into un- wanted areas.

For normal usage, set the skids so that the scraper bar is 1/8' above the skids, For extremely hard-packed snow surfaces, adjust the skids upward so that the scraper bar touches the ground.

On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, set the skids at 1-1/4" below the scraper bar (See To Adjust Skids Height paragraph on page 17). Stones and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the machine.

After the snow throwing job has been completed, allow the engine to idle for a few minutes, which will melt snow and accumulated ice off the engine.

*Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after

each use... _"

. Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debris from the entire snow thrower, and flush with water (if possible) to re- move all salt or other chemicals. Wipe

snow thrower dry.
