￿￿Before use, always ensure there is nothing lodged in the auger, or impeller area. Inspect the auger and impeller for damage from rocks or other debris, and ensure there is no string, twine, etc stuck on the auger or impeller shafts. Visually inspect for loose hardware or any control cables that are loose or disconnected. Ensure the shear-pins are intact before operation.

￿￿Inspect the area you will be operating the snow blower in.

Avoid areas with rocks, large branches and limbs, or other de-	Shear-Pins	Auger

￿￿To pro-long the life of the friction wheel system, do not par- tially-engage the drive system, or continually engage and dis- engage the drive system if the engine begins to slow under heavy loads. When operating the snow-blower in dense wet snow, or significant amounts of snow, use a slower speed on the transmission.

￿￿The STANLEY Snow Blower uses a “live axle” which means the

wheels on either side of the snow blower turn together. When turning the snow-blower 180o dis-engage the drive system. Shift to Speed 1. Re-engage the drive handle and pull on the control handle to shift the weight distribution to the outside tire. This will assist in turning the snow blower, and is espe- cially important for the 45SB which uses double tires on each side.

blower to the right. If turning right, shift the weight of	Figure 4
