WARNING! Keep the area of operation free from foreign objects that can be thrown by the auger and/or impeller blades. Perform a thorough inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden from view by surrounding snow. If the Snow Thrower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use, stop the Snow Thrower, remove the obstruction, and inspect it for damage.
AUGER AND DRIVE CONTROLS 1. To engage the auger, press down on the auger control handle (left side handle). 2. To engage the drive, press down on the drive control handle (right side handle). The machine should start moving in the direction and speed that the speed control lever is set to. 3.
NOTICE: Do not change speed positions while the drive is engaged. Disengage the drive control handle BEFORE changing speeds or directions. If the snow is deeper than the height of the auger, remove it in several steps taking narrower swaths. Make several passes with the auger overlapping the cleared areas and reduce forward speed.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES TIRE INFLATION Before each use of your Snow Thrower, check the tire pressure. The pressure in each tire should be in the range of 20-24 psi for the best performance. The pressure can be checked using an ordinary tire pressure gauge.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Causes Remedy WARNING - Before attempting to make any inspections, repairs or adjustments, stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop moving and carefully disconnect the engine spark plug wire.
