SNOW REMOVAL

IMPORTANT: Allow unit and engine to adjust to the outdoor temperatures before clearing snow.

1.Select Speed Control position and direction.

2.Engage Attachment Clutch - Right Hand Bail.

3.Engage Traction Drive Clutch - Left Hand Bail.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overload unit capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate. Use slow speed to clear deep or hard packed snow.

Tips for Operation

Snow is best removed as soon as possible after snow fall.

To clear an area, run unit in an overlapping series of paths. For large areas, start in the middle and throw snow to each side, so snow is not cleared more than once.

ALWAYS direct snow away from area to be cleared and with direction of the wind.

TRAVELING

To travel from one work area to another:

1.Set Throttle to Slow or Part-Throttle position.

2.Press down on handlebars enough to raise front of unit slightly off surface.

3.Engage wheel drive clutch without engaging attachment drive clutch.

TRANSPORT

ALWAYS shut off engine, remove key, and close fuel shut-off valve when transporting unit on a truck or trailer.

Use extra care when loading or unloading unit onto trailer or truck.

Secure unit chassis to transport vehicle. NEVER secure from rods or linkages that could be damaged.

DO NOT transport machine while engine is running.
