OPERATION

PLEASE REFER TO ENGINE MANUAL
(SEPARATE DOCUMENT) FOR ENGINE
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS.
The following section describes steps to prepare
your Snow Thrower for use. If after reading this
section, if you are unsure about how to perform
any of the steps please call
1-800-791-9458 for customer service. Failure to
perform these steps properly can damage your
Snow Thrower or shorten its life.
Review the SAFETY section in this manual and
the ENGINE manual before operating the engine
and snow thrower.
WARNING! Keep the area of operation free
from foreign objects that can be thrown by the
auger 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. Repair or replace any damaged
parts before restarting and operating you
Snow Thrower.
• Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the
area of operation. Be aware that the normal noise of
the Snow Thrower when turned on may make it
difficult for you to hear approaching people.
• Start your clearing path by throwing snow in a back
and forth motion. To clear in the opposite direction,
stop your Snow Thrower and pivot it on its wheels to
face the opposite direction. Make sure to overlap
clearing paths.
• Determine the direction of the wind. If possible,
move in the same direction as the wind so that the
snow is not thrown against the wind, back into your
face and on the just cleared path.
WARNING! DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS TO
UNCLOG CHUTE. Stop the motor before
removing debris. Use a clean out tool to
unclog the chute. Do not walk in front of your
running Snow Thrower. Do not direct
discharged snow towards bystanders.
• Do not apply additional man-made load to the
engine since this may damage the engine.
• Some parts of your Snow Thrower may freeze
under extreme temperature conditions. Do not
attempt to operate your Snow Thrower with frozen
