Preventing Freeze-up after Use
•
Let the engine run for a few minutes to prevent moving
parts from freezing. Stop the engine, wait for all
moving parts to stop, and remove ice and snow from
the snowthrower.
•
With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle
several times and push the electric start button once
(if applicable) to prevent the recoil and electric starters
from freezing up.
Operating Tips
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.
2. Chute deector handle
•
Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.
•
To self-propel, raise the handle and tilt the snowthrower
slightly forward, lifting the wheels off the ground.
The more you tilt the handle forward, the faster the
snowthrower self-propels.
•
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.
•
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.
