tions for cold start.

SNOW THROWING TIPS

1.For maximum snow thrower efficien- cy in removing snow, adjust ground speed, NEVER the throttle. Go slower in deep, freezing or wet snow. Ifthe wheels slips, reduce forward speed. The engine is de- signed to deliver maximum perfor- mance at full throttle and should be run at this power setting at all times.

2.Most efficient snow throwing is ac- complished when the snow is re-

moved immediately after if falls.

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

4.The snow should be discharged down wind whenever possible.

5.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.

6.On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, set the skids at 1-1/4" below the scraper bar. See To Adjust Skid Height paragraph in the Service & Adjustments section of this manu- al. Rocks and gravel must not be

picked up and thrown by the ma- chine.

7.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.

8.Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.

9.Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debris from the entire snow thrower, and flush with water (if pos- sible) to remove all salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.
