crushed rock driveways. Move the handle down to slightly raise the au- ger.

9.The forward speed of the snow thrower is dependent on the depth and weight of the snow. Experience 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 snow thrower 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 or drifts of a greater

depth,slow your pace to allow the discharge chute to dispose of the snow as rapidly as the auger re- ceives 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 be- gins 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 de- scribed above. Turn the discharge

chute away from the snow bank. More time will be required to remove snow of

this type than level snow.
