OPERATION
Operating Instructions
WARNING: The Snowthrower is designed to clear snow from level surfaces, such as driveways and sidewalks. Caution should be exercised while op-
erating Snowthrower on steep sloping areas.
NOTE: Thoroughly inspect your Snowthrower for loose or damaged parts prior to starting any snow clearing.
To Start
STo prevent accidental starting, remove key from control bar. Figure 7.
SAttach strain relief around upper handle tube as follows:
SLoop strain relief around handle tube.
SFasten strain relief to handle tube by inserting one tab through first slot (Figure 8A), pulling until both tabs are through (Figure 8B).
SLoop extension cord in strain relief through second slot as illustrated in Figure 8C.
SSecure extension cord to strain relief by looping cord around tabs as shown in Figure 8D.
SThis will prevent disconnection in case of accidental pull.
SConnect extension cord to connecting lead form control bar.
NOTE: Connect Snowthrower to a UL approved two conductor extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use only with a wall receptacle installed in accordance with local codes and inspection authorities. REPLACE DAMAGED CORD IMMEDIATELY.
Use this chart to determine extension cord length and size.

Do not exceed 150 feet in extension cord length. Insert key into back of control bar.
The Snowthrower will now operate when the control bar is squeezed. The Snowthrower will stop when the control bar is released. Figure 7.
WARNING: The motor is equipped with a protect- ing device that will disconnect power to the motor temporarily if the Snowthrower is overworked,
and will automatically reset as the motor cools. If the mo- tor stops, release control bar to avoid accidental starting when the protector resets.
Push Snowthrower forward at a rate of speed comfortable for the operator. Don’t force the Snowthrower, it will perform better at a slower and constant speed. The depth and consistency of the snow will govern the speed of forward travel.
If you find it necessary to clear snow from gravel or irregular surfaces, push down on handle to raise impeller blades clear of loose or irregular surfaces.
In deep snow it may be necessary to make two or three passes over an area in order to clear it acceptably.
WARNING: Never direct snow discharge towards bystanders, glass enclosures or automobiles.
NOTE: Do not operate Snowthrower out of snow for extended periods of time.
