Removing snow
WARNING: Before starting work, make sure that
the area to be cleared is free of stones, debris,
wires and any other objects.
Make sure all fasteners on the snow thrower (screws,
nuts, etc.) are fully tightened.
Check the auger for wear and tear at regular intervals.
Position the snow thrower so that snow will discharge in
a safe direction away from the operator and bystanders.
OPERATING
Clear snow often, before it gets too deep. It is best to
remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.
Lift the auger up slightly before starting the snow thrower.
Switch on and tilt the snow thrower forward until the
scraper blade contacts the ground. Push the snow
thrower forward at a comfortable rate of speed, yet slow
enough to clear the path completely. The width and depth
of the snow determines your forward speed.
Pull up and turn the adjust knob to direct the snow to the
right or to the left. For the most efficient snow removal
throw the snow downwind and slightly overlap each
swath.

The snow thrower can remove up to 8" deep in one pass.
When clearing deeper drifts, hold the snow thrower by
the upper and lower handles and use a swinging or
sweeping motion. Shave off the top layer and make
multiple passes. (Fig. 6).
