Tips for Throwing Snow

Remove snow as soon as possible after it falls. This
produces the best snow removal results.
Adjust the skids to match the type of surface being cleaned;
refer to Adjusting Skids.
The snowthrower is designed to clean snow down to the
contact surface, but there are times when the front of the
snowthrower may tend to ride up. If this happens, reduce
forward speed.
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible, and overlap
each pass to ensure complete snow removal.
If the wheels slip, shift into a lower gear to reduce forward
speed.
Run the snowthrower for a few minutes after clearing snow
so moving parts do not freeze. Engage the PTO to clear any
remaining snow from inside the housing.
Do not overload the snowthrower by clearing snow at too
fast a rate. If the engine slows down, reduce forward speed.
Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed) when
throwing snow.
In wet or slushy conditions, reduce clogging of the
discharge chute by maintaining maximum engine speed and
by not overloading the engine.
In some snow and cold weather conditions, some controls
and moving parts may freeze. Therefore, when any control
becomes hard to operate, stop the machine and wait for all
moving parts to stop; then check all parts for freeze up. Do
not use excessive force trying to operate frozen controls.
Free all controls and moving parts before operating.
