Never clear or unclog discharge
chute with your hands, or while
engine is running.
Fingers can quickly become caught and traumatic
amputation or severe laceration can result.
1. SHUT OFF THE ENGINE!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure that the impeller blades
have stopped rotating.
3. Use a clean-out tool to remove snow from the auger
housing.

Operating Tips

1. Most efficient snow removal is accomplished when
snow is removed immediately after it falls.
2. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each swath
previously taken.
3. Snow should be discharged downwind whenever
possible.
4. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, push down slightly
on the handle bars to avoid ingesting rocks. DO NOT
allow rocks and gravel to be picked up and thrown from
snowthrower.
5. After the snow removal has been completed, allow the
engine to run for a few minutes, to melt accumulated
snow and ice.
6. Clean the snowthrower thoroughly after each use.
7. Before starting snowthrower, always inspect auger for
ice accumulation and/or debris, which could result in
snowthrower damage.
8. Check oil level before every start. Make sure the oil is at
the FULL mark on the oil fill cap/dipstick.
