PRE-OPERATION CHECK

WARNING!
machine for the first time, be sure
that it is properly assembled. Check
that all parts are properly attached
and undamaged. If you are unsure
about the assembly or condition of
any of your machine parts, please call
customer service. Check that all parts
are attached and undamaged. Check
that all fasteners are tight.
∙ Check engine oil level with machine on level ground
and add gasoline
∙ Keep the area of operation free from foreign objects
that can be thrown by the auger (9) and or impeller
blades. Perform a thorough inspection of the area since
some objects may be hidden from view by surrounding
snow.
Wheel control
Before each use of your machine, check the wheel
pressure.
Over-inflating could cause a wheel to burst and
cause severe bodily injury. The pressure can be
checked using an ordinary wheel pressure gauge.
Fill the wheels using a portable air compressor or
other compressed air source.
CAUTION! DO NOT OVER-INFLATE
THE WHEELS.

STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE (5)

3. Place the throttle lever on 'run position' (
4. Fully move the choke lever to 'closed position' (
), if the engine (5) is cold.
5. Push the primer pump (if present) repeatedly few
minutes to prime the machine (ATTENTION! Avoid over
priming!).
NOTE: Do not use primer pump to start a warm engine.
6. Grasp the recoil starter handle and pull rope out
slowly until it pulls slightly harder. Let rope rewind
slowly. Pull recoil starter handle rapidly. Do not allow
the handle to snap back. Allow it to rewind slowly while
keeping a firm hold on the recoil starter handle.
7. As the engine starts and begins to operate evenly,
slowly move the choke control back to 'open position'
( ) slowly. Allow a brief warm-up until engine runs
smoothly.

releasing the left control handle.
2. Place the throttle lever on 'slow position' (
3. Set the engine (5) switch to the OFF position
(remove the ignition key if provided). This will stop the
engine (5).
4. Move the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
5. Remove snow from the machine surfaces.
WARNING! Never store your machine
for extended periods of time with fuel
in the tank. Fuel stabilizer can be
added to the fuel to extend its shelf
life for storage.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
∙
Start your clearing path by throwing snow in a back
and forth motion. To clear in the opposite direction,
stop your machine and pivot it on its wheels to face the
opposite direction. Make sure to overlap clearing paths.
∙ If the machine hits an obstruction or picks up a
foreign object during use, stop the motor, remove the
obstruction, and inspect it for damage. Repair or replace
any damaged parts before restarting and operating with
machine.
∙ Determine the direction of the wind. If possible,
move in the same direction as the wind so that the snow
is not thrown against the wind, back into your face and
on the just cleared path.
∙
Do not walk in front of your running machine.
∙ Do not direct discharged snow towards bystanders.
∙
Do not apply additional man-made load to the
engine since this may damage the engine.
