SNOW
THROWING
TIPS
• This snow thrower will propel itself
forward when the handle is raised
enough to cause the auger blades to
contact the ground. The auger will stop
when control switch lever is released.
Q For most efficient snow throwing, turn the
discharge chute deflector to threw snow
downwind, and slightly overlap each
swath. In light snow take up to a full cut
and in heavy snow take tess than a full
cut.
• The distance snow will be discharged can
be adjusted by moving the discharge
chute deflector. Raise the deflector for
more distance or lower the deflector for
less distance.
• In windy conditions, lower the chute
deflector to direct discharged snow close
to the ground where it is less likely to
blow into unwanted areas.
• Keep the area to be cleared free of
stones, toys and other foreign objects for
safety and to prevent damage to the snow
thrower.
• Do not use the auger propelling feature
m
when clearing gravel or crushed rock
!
driveways. Move the handle down to rais
the auger slightly.
• The allowable forward speed of the snow
thrower is dependent on the depth and
weight of the snow.
Experience will
establish the most effective method of
using the snow thrower under different
conditions,
DRY AND AVERAGE
SNOW
• Snow up to eight inch depth can be
removed rapidly and easily by walking at
a moderate rate. For snow or drifts of a
greater depth you may find it desirable to
slow your pace to allow the discharge
chute to dispose of the snow as rapidly as
the auger receives the snow.
• Plan to have the snow discharged in the
direction the wind is blowing.

CAUTION:
Always stand behind snow
thrower (operator's position) when starting
motor.
Do Not put hands, feet, hair or loose cloth-
ing on near the discharge chute deflector or
auger housing while the motor is running.

CAUTION: Objects such as gravel,
rocks or other debds, if struck by the auger,
may be thrown with sufficient force to cause
personal injury or property damage.
WET PACKED

• Move slowly into snow of this condition.
The greater the depth, the slower you
should go. When it appears that the wet,
