Operation
Figure 9
1. Chute deflector handle
POTENTIAL HAZARD
A gap between chute and chute deflector
will allow snow and anything that may be
picked up by snowthrower to fly in the
direction of the operator.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Thrown objects could cause serious
personal injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not force chute deflector too far forward
so a gap appears between the chute and
chute deflector.
Do not over-tighten deflector mounting
nuts so excessive force is required to adjust
deflector.
4. Begin snow removal near the electrical outlet
and work outward. Blow back and forth, not
away and toward outlet.
When turning at the end of a swath, step over the
cord and turn the snowthrower.
5. Always overlap each swath and discharge snow
downwind when possible.

6. Shave down large banks of snow by placing the
snowthrower on the bank. Lift the snowthrower
by the primary and secondary handles only
(Fig. 10). Let the unit's weight shave down the
bank in a back and forth motion.
