OPERATING TIPS

W A R N I N G
If the snow thrower hits a foreign object while it is in use, the object could be thrown in the
direction of the operator or a bystander. Thrown objects could cause serious personal injury.
Keep the area to be cleared free of all foreign objects that may be picked up and thrown by the
impeller.
• Keep children and pets away from the operating area.
• Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys, or other foreign objects that the impeller
can throw. Such items may be covered by a snowfall and go unnoticed. if the snow thrower
strikes an obstruction or a foreign object during operation, stop the snow thrower, unplug the
extension cord, remove the obstruction, and inspect the snow thrower for damage.
• Do not force the chute deflector too far forward so that a gap appears between the discharge
chute and the chute deflector.
• Begin removing snow near the electrical outlet, and work outward. Work back and forth, and
not away from or toward the outlet.
• When turning at the end of a swath, step over the cord, and then turn the snow thrower.
• Overlap each swath, and discharge the snow the same direction of the wind whenever
possible.
• Shave down large banks of snow by placing the snow thrower on the bank. Allow the weight of
the snow thrower to shave down the bank in a back-and-forth motion.
• Keep the extension cord clear of obstructions, sharp objects, and all moving parts. Do not
pull sharply on the cord or abuse it in any manner. inspect the extension cord for damage that
may result in an electric shock on a regular basis. if the extension cord becomes damaged in
any way, replace it immediately.
• Some controls and moving parts may freeze in certain cold and snowy weather conditions.
if any of the controls become hard to operate, stop the motor, disconnect the extension cord,
and inspect the snow thrower for frozen parts.
• Do not use excessive force when trying to operate frozen controls. free all of the controls and
moving parts before using the snow thrower.
• After clearing the snow, allow the motor run for a few minutes so that the ice doesn't freeze
any moving parts. Then shut off the motor, wait for all moving parts to come to a complete
stop, and wipe the ice and snow off the snow thrower. Rotate the discharge chute several
times in order to remove the snow from the discharge chute..
• Disconnect the extension cord when storing the snow thrower.
