Snow Blower Operation - King Canada Power Force KCG-2421GE Instruction Manual

AUGER AND DRIVE CONTROLS
1) To engage the auger (blades), press down on the auger control lever (A) Fig.11
(left side handle).
2) To engage the drive, press down on the drive control lever (B) (right side handle).
The snow blower should start moving in the direction and speed for the respective
setting on the drive speed/gear control.
3) When finished clearing a snow path, release the auger control lever (A) and the
drive control lever (B).
WARNING: Release the auger and drive control levers (A & B) Fig.11 before
adjusting the drive speed control lever (C) Fig.11. NEVER CHANGE THE
DRIVE/GEAR SPEED WHILE YOUR SNOW BLOWER IS IN MOTION, AS IT WILL
DAMAGE THE DRIVE MECHANISM AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
DRIVE SPEED/GEAR CONTROL
1) Move the drive speed control lever (C) Fig.11 to the desired speed. There are six
settings: four forward speeds and two reverse speeds. 1 is the slowest forward
speed and 6 is the fastest forward speed. R1 is the slowest reverse speed and R2
is the fastest reverse speed.
Note: There is no neutral drive setting since the drive control handle must be
engaged for movement. Neutral is achieved when the drive control handle is
disengaged.
DISCHARGE CHUTE ANGLE AND DIRECTION ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: Never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator, bystanders,
vehicles or nearby windows. Discharged snow and foreign objects accidentally
picked up by the snow blower can cause serious damage and severe bodily injury.
Always point the discharge chute in the opposite direction from potential hazards.
To change the discharge chute deflector angle use the discharge chute deflector
control lever (D) Fig.11.
The discharge chute can be adjusted 180º by rotating the discharge chute handle (A)
Fig.12. Rotate the discharge chute handle clockwise to move the discharge chute to
the left, and counterclockwise to move the discharge chute to the right.
LED LIGHT
To turn on the front mounted LED light, place the LED light switch (B) Fig.12 to the On position.
SNOW BLOWER OPERATION GUIDLINE
Clearing Snow
1) Start the engine. Make sure the path in front of your snow blower is free from people, animals, objects, and all other obstructions except for
snow.
2) Adjust the discharge chute to the desired direction.
WARNING! Never direct the discharge chute toward people or animals. While snow may seem harmless, it can contain rocks or other debris that
can cause serious injury when projected through the chute.
3) Engage/depress the auger control lever to start turning the augers.
4) Set the desired direction and speed using the speed/gear control lever.
5) Engage/depress the drive control lever and direct the snow blower into the snow to be cleared.
WARNING! NEVER change speed/gear positions while the drive control lever is engaged. Disengage the drive control handle BEFORE changing
speeds or directions.
6) If the snow is deeper than the height of the auger, remove it in several steps taking narrower passes. Make several passes with the auger
overlapping the cleared areas and reduce forward speed.
7) For the best clearing efficiency, clear snow before it melts, refreezes and hardens. Hard packed and wet snow can be very difficult to clear.
Clearing wet heavy snow can be a challenge, depending on ambient temperature, humidity levels, and overall climate conditions including actual
snow conditions, there may be no 100% solution as snow may be too wet or compacted to move or throw. Wet snow will tend to clog and stick
more to the augers and chute. Keep the auger engaged as much as possible when clearing wet snow to help prevent clogging.
WARNING! If snow is filled with foreign material, damage to the snow blower may result. Avoid snow with foreign materials.
STOPPING
When finished using your snow blower, perform the following steps to shut it down.
1. Engage the auger and impeller for 30 seconds to clear any remaining snow inside your snow blower.
2. Stop the auger blade rotation by releasing the auger control lever.
3. Remove engine key switch to stop engine, close fuel on/shut-off valve.
4. Remove snow from all the snow blower surfaces including the auger housing and chute areas.
