Snowthrowing Tips
Warning
The rotor blades can throw stones, toys and other
foreign objects and cause serious personal injury
to the operator or to bystanders.
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects
that the rotor blades could pick up and throw.
Keep all children and pets away from the area
of operation.
Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls. This
produces the best snow removal results.
The snowthrower clears down to the ground and propels
itself forward when you engage the traction drive.
If the snowthrower does not propel itself forward on
slippery surfaces or in heavy snow, push forward on the
handle, but allow the snowthrower to work at its own
pace.
Overlap each swath to ensure complete snow removal.
Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
Do not attempt to clear snow from a crushed-rock or
gravel surface.

In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force
when trying to operate frozen controls. If you have
difficulty operating any control or part, start the engine
and let it run for a few minutes.
After clearing the snow, let the engine run for a few
minutes to prevent moving parts from freezing. Shut off
the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
remove all ice and snow from the snowthrower.
With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle several
times to prevent it from freezing up.
