TO THROW SNOW
CAUTION: HIDDEN HAZARDS may result in minor or moderate injury and/or damage to unit. Stay alert for holes, rocks, roots, traffic, and other hazards.
To propel unit and throw snow:
1.Start engine.
2.Squeeze auger clutch bail against handlebar to engage auger.
3.Lift handlebar so auger contacts surface to be cleared. Lift the handlebar only high enough to propel unit forward.
NOTE: Do not lift so high to allow snow to kick back from under unit.
Tips for Operation
Snow is best removed as soon as possible after a 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.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overload unit capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate.
TO TRAVEL TO ANOTHER WORK AREA
1.Release auger clutch bail to disengage auger.
2.Press down on handlebar enough to raise front of unit slightly off the ground and push or pull unit.
TO TRANSPORT UNIT
Use extra care when loading or unloading unit onto trailer or truck.
Secure unit chassis to transport vehicle. NEVER secure by rods or linkages that could be damaged.
Always shutoff engine for transport.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Check fuel level by looking at fuel level indicator on rear of unit. Add fuel as required.
WARNING: FLAMMABLE FUEL and its EXPLOSIVE VAPORS can result in death or serious injury.
Handle fuel with extreme care.
ALWAYS use an approved fuel container.
No Smoking! No Lighted Materials! No Open Flames!
Allow engine to cool before any service.
ALWAYS clean up any spilled fuel.
To add fuel to fuel tank:
IMPORTANT: Two cycle engines require that oil be mixed with fuel. Failure to mix oil with fuel will result in seizure and severe damage to engine. DO NOT use gasohol or gasoline containing alcohol because alcohol will cause internal parts to deteriorate. See Engine Manual for correct type and grade of fuel.
1.ALWAYS place unit in open or well ventilated area.
2.Stop engine and allow to cool.
3.See engine manual for proper fuel/oil mixture.
4.Clean fuel cap and surrounding area to prevent dirt from entering fuel tank.
5.Remove cap.
6.Fill fuel tank with mixture. Tank capacity is 1.2 quarts (1.1 liters).
NOTE: Fuel mixture left standing for prolonged periods will begin to separate; thoroughly shake mixture before use.
7. Replace fuel cap and tighten.
