OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Keep the extension cord clear of obstructions, sharp objects, and all moving parts. Do not pull sharply on the cord
or abuse it in any manner. Inspect the extension cord for damage that may result in an electric shock on a regular
basis. If the extension cord becomes damaged in any way, replace it immediately.
• Some controls and moving parts may freeze in certain cold and snowy weather conditions. If any of the controls
become hard to operate, stop the motor, disconnect the extension cord, and inspect the Snow Thrower for frozen
parts.
Do not use excessive force when trying to operate frozen controls. Free all of the controls and moving parts before
using the Snow Thrower.
• When operating the Snow Thrower, keep the wheels 1" (2.5 cm) off the pavement by tipping the Snow Thrower
forward. This will help to prevent the snow from building up on the wheels.
• After clearing the snow, allow the motor run for a few minutes so that the ice doesn't freeze any moving parts.
Then shut off the motor, wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop, and wipe the ice and snow off the
Snow Thrower. Rotate the chute crank several times in order to remove the snow from the Snow Thrower.
• Lock the Snow Thrower when it is not in use. Disconnect the extension cord.
