How To Remove Snow or Debris From The Auger Housing (Figure 2)

1.With the engine running, quickly pull the re- coil starter handle (12) three or four times with a continuous full arm stroke. This will produce a loud clattering sound that is not harmful to the engine or starter.

2.Stop the engine. Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor cover, control levers and cables. Also move the throttle control (13), choke control (14), and recoil starter han- dle (12) several times.

WARNING: Do not attempt to re- move snow or debris that may be- come lodged in auger housing

without taking the following precautions.

1.Release the auger drive lever (5).

2.Move the throttle control (13) to the stop position.

3.Remove (do not turn) the ignition key (8).

4.Disconnect the spark plug wire.

5.Do not place your hands in the auger hous- ing (4) or the discharge chute (3). Use a pry bar to remove any snow or debris.

Snow Throwing Tips

1.For maximum snow thrower efficiency, change the ground speed, NEVER change the engine speed. The engine is designed to deliver maximum performance at full throttle and must be run in the fast position at all times. In deep, freezing, or wet snow, reduce forward speed. If the wheels slip, also reduce forward speed.

2.Most efficient snow throwing is accomplished when the snow is removed immediately after if falls.

3.For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each previous path.

ENGLISH

4.Whenever possible, discharge the snow down wind.

5.For normal usage, set the skids so that the scraper bar is 1/8” above the skids. For ex- tremely hard-packed snow surfaces, adjust the skids upward so that the scraper bar touches the ground.

6.Rocks and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the machine. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, set the skids at 1-1/4 inch be- low the scraper bar. See “How To Adjust The Height Of The Skids” in the Maintenance section.

7.After each snow throwing job, allow the en- gine to idle for a few minutes. The snow and accumulated ice will melt off the engine.

8.Clean the snow thrower after each use.

9.Remove ice, snow and debris from the entire snow thrower. Flush with water to remove all salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.
