SNOW THROWING TIPS

•This snow thrower will propel itself forward when the handle is raised

enough to cause the auger blades to contact the ground. The auger should stop when auger control bar is released, If it does not, refer to Adjust Auger Control Cable paragraph on page 12.

•For most efficient snow throwing, turn the discharge chute deflector to throw snow downwind, and slightly overlap each swath. In light snow take up to a full cut and in heavy snow take less than a full cut.

•The distance snow will be discharged can be adjusted by moving the discharge chute deflector. Raise the deflector for more distance or lower the deflector for less distance.

•In windy conditions, Iower the chute deflector to direct discharged snow close to the ground where it is less likely to blow into unwanted areas.

•Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys and other foreign objects for safety and to prevent damage to the snow thrower.

•Do not use the auger propelling feature when clearing gravel or crushed rock driveways. Move the handle down to raise the auger slightly.

•The allowable forward speed of the snow thrower is dependent on the depth and weight of the snow. Experience will establish the most effective method of using the snow thrower under different conditions.

DRY AND AVERAGE SNOW

•Snow up to eight inch depth can be removed rapidly and easily by walking at a moderate rate. For snow or drifts of a

greater depth you may find it desirable to slow your pace to allow the discharge chute to dispose of the snow as rapidly as the auger receives the snow.

•Plan to have the snow discharged in the direction the wind is blowing.

WET PACKED SNOW

Move slowly into snow of this condition. The greater the depth, the slower you should go. When it appears that the wet, packed snow is causing the auger to slow down and the chute to clog, back off and begin a series of short jabs into the snow. These short back and forth, 4 to 6 inch, jabbing motions will "belch" the snow from the chute.

SNOW BANKS AND DRIFTS

•In snow of greater depth than the unit, use the jabbing technique described above. Turn the discharge chute away from the snow bank. More time will be

required to remove snow of this type than level snow.
