BEFORE OPERATION
Check the General Condition of the Snow Blower
• Before each use, look around and underneath the snow blower for
signs of oil or gasoline leaks.
• Check the auger housing and the discharge chute for accumulation of
packed snow or ice. Clean the auger housing and discharge chute
before starting the snow blower.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check each control for proper operation.
• Check the auger and blower for loose or broken bolts. If broken,
replace them with new ones.
• Check the skid shoes and scraper for wear. Replace them if
necessary (see page 52).
• Check that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened.
Check the Engine
• Check the oil level (see page 44).
• Check the fuel level (see page 42). Starting with a full tank will help
to eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
