SNOW THROWING TIPS

•For maximumsnowthrower efficiency, ad_JStground speed, not throttle, If the track slips, reduce forward speed. The engine is designed to deliver maximum p_dormance at full throttle and should be run at trois power setting at all times..

eMost efficient snow throwing is accomplished when the snow is removed immediately after it falls

_For complete sn0w removal, slightly Overlap each

• path previously taken.

eThe snow should be discharged down wind when- _e_,erpossible.

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

®_'Ongravel or crushed rock surfaces, set the skids at ,'I-1/4"below the scraper bar (see To Adjust Skids _eight paragraph on page 19). Rocks and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the machine.

•If the front of the snow thrower has a tendency to

.._raise,reduce the ground speed and engage the weight transfer system.

•_Afterthe 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

!tom the entire snow thrower, and flush with water {if possible) to remove all salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.
