l
Adjust the snow discharge chute to avoid hitting the operator,
bystanders, windows, and other objects with thrown snow. Stay clear
of the snow discharge chute while the engine is running.
l
If the snow discharge chute becomes clogged, stop the engine and use a
wooden stick to unclog it. Never put your hand into the snow discharge
chute while the engine is running; serious personal
injury
could result.
NOTE:
l
To move the machine without engaging the snow-blowing mechanism,
squeeze the drive clutch lever only. Do this when moving the machine to
or frpm the area to be cleared.
l
To engage the snow-blowing machanism without using the drive
'-mechanism, squeeze the auger clutch lever only. Do this if you wish to
maneuver the machine manually while clearing snow.
l
Squeeze both levers to propel the machine and clear snow simul-
taneotisly. When both levers are squeezed, the drive clutch lever locks
the auger clutch lever down (p. 1 1). The auger clutch lever remains lock-
ed down so long as qne hand continues to squeeze the drive clutch
lever. Releasing the drive clutch lever then unlocks and releases the
auger clutch lever.
l
If the snow is deeper than the height of the auger, move the machine
back and forth to remove snow gradually.
l
For best efficiency, clear snow before it melts, refreezes and hardens.
