snow blowing is accomplished when the

snow is removed immediately after it falls.

For complete snow removal, slightly over- lap each path previously taken. Use more overlap in deep snow to prevent overloading.

The snow should be discharged down wind whenever possible. In windy condi- tions, lower the chute deflector to direct discharged snow close to the ground,

where it is less likely to blow into un- wanted areas.

For normal usage, set the skids so that the scraper bar is 1/8" above the skids. For extremely hard-packed snow sur- faces, adjust the skids upward so that the scraper bar touches the ground.

On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, set the skids at 1-1/4" below the scraper bar (See To Adjust Skids Height paragraph on page 17). Stones and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the machine.

After the snow throwing job has been completed, allow the engine to idle for a few minutes, which will melt snow and accumulated ice off the engine.

Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.

Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debris from the entire snow thrower, and flush with water (if possible) to re- move all salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.
