into forward position and Sno-Away will travel for- ward when the clutch is engaged. To reverse the Sno-Away, disengage the clutch and pull up on shift lever and transmission will shift into the re- verse position. Neutral position of the shift lever is half way between forward and reverse and thr lever will be held in this position by a detent lever on the left side of the Sno-Away frame.
The skid shoes on each side of thcr rotor hous- ing are adjustable either up or.down to suit thr LUP face over which the Sno-Away is to be operated.
For smooth surface, loosen the nuts and set thr shoes so that the lower~edge of the rotor housing rides near the surface. For use over an unewn or rough surface adjdst the shoes for maximum lift.
When using the Sno-Away, adjust the discharge spout so that the snow will be thrown with th( wind and never into the wind. Throwing snow into the wind will be a source of discomfort to the op- erator. To alter the direction of discharge, rotate the spout by means of the spout adjusting handle. The distance that the snow may be thrown may be adjusted by loq,sening the two wing nuts on the dis- charge spout extension and raising or lowering. the: extension to give the desired angle. ,After adjusting, push the exten&n snugly against the spout asscm bly to prevent snow from being blown backwards
against the engine and operator. Slotted holes be- neath the wing nuts will allow this to br done bc- forr tightening the wing nuts to hold thr exttmiou in the dcsircd position,
When operating thr Sno-Away through hcsv~y drifts of snow, depress the handles and raiser the ro- tor housing while taking thcb first pass through tiw drift. Then back off and lower the rotor housing and go through again. After the first path through thr drift has been openrd, it may be convcniwl to USC only a portion of thr width of the plow on w,-- crssive passes. Naturally, efficient plowing method- will vary from one snowfall to another an’d from lo- cation to location. The: operator w-ill soon Icarn to judge which mrthods product the b(‘st results.

IMPORTANT
After completion of plowing operation, allow the engine to operate in a sheltered area for about 5 minutes to dry itself and prevent the formation.‘of ice. When pos- sible, store the Sno-Away ,in a cold area so that clinging snow will not melt and refreeze into ice.
