OPERATION
3.For complete snow removal, slightly overlap leach previous path.
4.When possible, discharge the snow down wind.
5.The distance the 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.
6.In windy conditions, lower the chute deflector to direct the discharged snow close to the ground where it is less likely to blow into un- wanted areas.
7.For safety and to prevent damage to the snow thrower, keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys, and other foreign objects.
8.Do not use the auger propelling feature when clearing gravel or crushed rock driveways. Move the handle down to slightly raise the auger.
9.The forward speed of the snowthrower is depen- dent on the depth and weight of the snow. Exper- ience will establish the most effective method of using the snow thrower under different conditions.
10.After each snow throwing job, allow the engine to run for a few minutes. The snow and accumulated ice will melt off the engine.
11.Clean the snowthrower after each use.
12.Remove ice, snow, and debris from the entire snow thrower. Flush with water to remove all salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.
Dry and Average Snow
1.Snow up to eight inches deep can be removed rapidly and easily by walking at a moderate rate. For snow drifts of a greater depth, slow your pace to allow the discharge chute to dis- pose of the snow as rapidly as the auger receives the snow.
2.Plan to have the snow discharged in the direction the wind is blowing.
Wet Packed Snow
Move slowly into wet, packed snow. If the wet, packed snow causes the auger to slow down or the discharge chute begins to clog, back off and begin a series of short back and forth jabs into the snow. These short back and forth jabs, four to six inches, will “belch” the snow from the chute.
Snow Banks And Drifts
In snow of greater depth than the unit, use the same “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.
