OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SPECIAL COLD WEATHERSTARTING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To aid starting the two-cycle or four-cycle gasoline powerheads in cold weather, the unit should be stored in an area with the temperature above 40˚F (4.4˚ C).

Refuel and store the gasoline powerhead in an area free of potential vapor ignition sources such as open flames (pilot lights) or electrical sparking devices (switches, electric motors).

OPERATING THE SNOW THROWER

1.Squeeze the power trigger on the powerhead

to start the rotor. The depth and weight of the snow governs the forward speed. Refer to the operator's manual of the powerhead for further instructions.

2.Do not tip the snow thrower to self-propel. Push the snow thrower so that unit rides on the scraper.

DISCHARGE DIRECTION ADJUSTMENT

Snow may be discharged to the left, straight forward, or to the right.

To change the direction, use the following instructions:

1.Firmly grasp handle of discharge directional control and pull up. This releases the rod, which is spring-loaded, from the current discharge direction slot and allows free movement (Fig. 4).

Pull the discharge directional control up

Fig. 4

2Turn the discharge directional control to the left, center, or right, depending on which direction you want to throw the snow (Fig. 5).

NOTE: From the center position, the discharge directional control turns 45 degrees only in either direction (left or right). Do not force.

TIPS FOR BEST SNOW THROWER RESULTS

4.For the most efficient snow throwing, keep the vanes parallel, throw snow downwind, and slightly overlap each swath (Fig. 6)

5.Hold the unit by the handle and use a swinging or sweeping motion when cleaning steps or deep drifts.
