Operation
out the broom of foreign objects; not bare
hands.
Preventing Freeze-up
• 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.
• After using the machine, let the engine run
for a few minutes to prevent moving parts
from freezing. Engage the broom to clear any
remaining snow from inside the housing. Stop
the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove the spark plug wire(s). Remove all
ice, snow, or other debris from the machine.
• Reconnect spark plug wire(s). With the engine
switch in the "OFF" position, pull the recoil
starter handle several times to prevent the recoil
starter from freezing up.

Transporting

Transporting a Unit
WARNING
Loading the machine onto a trailer without
strong enough or properly supported ramps
could be dangerous. The ramps could collapse
causing the unit to fall, which could cause injury.
• Use proper ramps that are secured to the
truck or trailer.
• Keep feet and legs out from under the unit
when loading and unloading.
• If necessary, use assistance when loading.
Use full width ramps when loading the machine.
Be sure the fuel shut-off valve is closed during
transport.
Use a heavy duty trailer to transport the machine.
Place the machine in either a forward or reverse gear
then block wheels.
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer with straps,
chains, cables, or ropes. If possible, both front and
rear straps should be directed down and outward
from the machine.
Be sure that the trailer has all necessary lighting and
marking as required by law and use safety chains.
