SNOW THROWING TIPS

.
This snow thrower will propel itself for-
ward 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.
.
For most efficient snow throwing, turn the
discharge chute deflector to throw snow
downwind, and slightly overlap each
swath. In light snow take up to a full cut
and in heavy snow take less 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 de-
flector 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
when clearing gravel or crushed rock
driveways. Move the handle down to
raise the auger slightly.

TO STOP SNOW THROWER
1. Release control switch lever on upper
handle.
2. Disconnect extension cord from wall re-
ceptacle first, then from power cord on
control switch.
3. Remove key when not in use.
WARNING: If snow thrower fre-
quently trips circuit breaker or
blows fuses, DO NOT replace
with higher rated fuse without consulting
your power company.
.
The allowable forward speed of the snow
thrower is dependent on the depth and
weight of the snow. Experience will es-
tablish the most effective method of using
the snow thrower under different condi-
tions.

DRY AND AVERAGE SNOW

.
Snow up to eight inch depth can be re-
moved 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.
WARNING: Always stand be-
hind snow thrower (operator's
position) when starting motor.
Do Not put hands, feet, hair or loose
clothing on near the discharge chute de-
flector or auger housing while the motor
is running.
WARNING: Objects such as
gravel, rocks or other debris, if
struck by the auger, may be
thrown with sufficient force to cause per-
sonal injury or property damage.
