Using your Snow Beast.

The following tips will help ensure proper and long lasting use of your BEAST snow blower. ALWAYS wear proper safety equipment when operating the snow-blower, and make sure you dress appropriately for cold weather.

Figure 1

Figure 1

∙ Before use, always ensure there is nothing lodged in the auger, or impeller area. Inspect the auger and impeller for damage from rocks or other debris, and ensure there is no string, twine, etc stuck on the auger or impeller shafts. Visually inspect for loose hardware or any control cables that are loose or dis- connected. Ensure the sheer-pins are intact before operation.

∙ Inspect the area you will be operating the snow blower. Avoid areas with rocks, large branches and limbs, or other debris that may damage the snow-blower. Only operate the snow blower on paved ground.

∙ To prolong the life of the friction wheel system, do not partially -engage the drive system, or continually engage and dis- engage the drive system if the engine begins to slow under heavy loads. When operating the snow-blower in dense wet snow, or significant amounts of snow, use a slower speed on the transmission. Also, only shift gears after coming to a com- plete stop.

Figure 3

∙ The Snow Beast uses a solid axle which means the wheels on either side of the snow blower turn together. When turning the snow-blower 180o dis-engage the drive system. Shift to F1 or F2. Re-engage the drive handle and pull on the control handle to shift the weight distribution to the outside tire. This will as- sist in turning the snow blower, and is especially important for the 45SB which uses double tires on each side.

⇒ Example: If turning left, shift the weight of the snow blower to the right. If turning right, shift the weight of the snow blower to the left.

⇒ The wheels spin better when spinning than when sta- tionary.

∙ Set the desired dis-charge direction and angle before engaging the auger/impeller. Always be aware of your surroundings and the direction the discharge chute and deflector are throwing snow to avoid injury to by standers or property damage.
