./_ CAUTION Never run engine indoors
or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
an odorless and a deadly gas. Always stand
behind snow thrower(operator's position)
when starting engine. Do not put hands,
feet, hair or loose clothing in or near the
discharge chute deflector or auger housing
while the engine is running. The tempera-
ture of the muffler and neaby areas may
exceed 150 _ F.; avoid these areas also.
Z_ WARNING: Objects such as gravel,
rocks or other debris, if struck by the auger,
may be thrown with sufficient force to cause
personal injury or property damager
We recommend standard safety glasses or
Wide Vision Safety Mask for over your
glasses.
SNow THROWING TIPS
, This snow thrower will propel itself
forward when the handle is raised
enough tO cause the auger blades to
contact the ground, The auger should
stop when auger control bar is released.
tf it does not, refer to Adjust Auger
Control Cable paragraph on page 11.
• For most efficient snow throwing, turn the
discharge chute deflector to throw snow
downwind, and slightly overlap each
swath, in light snow take up to a full cut
and in heavy snow take less than a full
cut.
The distance snow will be discharged can
be adjusted by moving the discharge
chute deflector. Raise the deflector for
more distance or lower the deflector for
less distance.
• In windy conditions, lower the chute
deflector to direct discharged snow close
to the ground where it is less likely to
blow into unwanted areas.
, Keep the area to be cleared free of
stones, toys and other foreign objects for
safety and to prevent damage to the
snow thrower.
, Do not use the auger propelling feature
when cleating gravel or crushed rock
driveways. Move the handle down to
raise the auger slightly.
, The allowable forward speed of the snow
thrower is dependent on the depth and
weight of the snow. Experience will
establish the most effective method of
using the snow thrower under different
conditions.
DRY AND AVERAGE SNOW
• Snow up to eight inch depth can be
removed rapidly and easily by walking at
a moderate rate. For snow or drifts of a
greater depth you may find it desirable 1o
slow your.pace to allow the discharge
chute to dispose of the snow as rapidly
as the auger receives the snow_
• Plan to have the snow discharged in the
direction the wind is blowing.
WET PACKED SNOW
• Move slowly into snow of this condition.
The greater the depth, the slower you
should go. When it appears that the wet,
packed snow is causing the auger to slow
down and the chute to clog, back off and
begin a series of short jobs into the snow.
These short back and forth, 4 to 6 inch,
jabbing motions will "belch" the snow
from the chute.
SNOW BANKS AND DRIFTS
• In snow of greater depth than the unit,
use the jabbing technique described
above. Turn the discharge chute away
from the snow bank. More time wil! be
required to remove snow of this type than
level snow.
