NOTE: When going through the snow for the first time, a full width passage must be cut. The forward speed must be slow enough to permit the snow to go through the discharge chute without being stopped.

9.Put the Direction Control Lever in the forward position and make the first passage through the snow.

WARNING:

The snowblower auger or impeller can be stopped by too much ice, snow or debris while the engine is still giving power to the snow- blower. Severe injury to the person can be caused when cleaning the snowblower while the engine is running.

NEVER CLEAN THE SNOWBLOWER WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING.

10.On the next and remaining passages, cut as much snow as will go through the discharge chute without being stopped.

11.If the reel stops turning while the fan continues to turn, disengage the PTO, stop the engine and tighten the nuts on each end of the reel shown in figure 4.0-4 to a torque of 85 ft. lbs. (115 Nm).
