Snow Removal Methods

Use the following patterns to avoid discharging snow in
unwanted locations and to prevent a second pass. For
clarity, assume both methods are used on a rectangular
area.
If you can discharge snow to both sides, it is best to
start in the middle of the rectangle. Operate the
snowblower from one end to the other, discharging
snow to both sides. This method permits you to leave
the discharge chute in the same position.
If you must discharge snow to only one side, start in
one corner, then rotate the discharge chute with each
pass. This method will require a bit more effort, but the
snow will be discharge only to one side.
