The motor is equipped with a
protector that will disconnect
power to the motor
temporarily if the snow
thrower is overworked, and
will automatically reset as the
motor cools. If the motor
stops, release the control
bar, disconnect the extension
cord and allow the motor to
cool 5 minutes before
continuing operation. If this
happens often take your
snow thrower to an
authorized Service Center
for repair and adjustment.
