Turning On and Off
WARNING: The auger starts rotating immediately after
the snow thrower is switched on. Keep hands and feet
away from the auger.
To switch ON, make sure the auger is not touching any
surface. Press down and hold the safety lock off button
(1). While holding down the button pull back on bail wire
(2). Once the snow thrower is started you can release the
safety lock off button.
To switch off simply release the bail wire.

LED HEADLIGHTS

LED headlights are located on the upper handle to
illuminate your path when using the snow blower in low
light conditions.
The lights may be turned on when the snow thrower is
operating. After the snow thrower is engaged by pressing
the safety lock button and pulling the bail wire toward the
handle, the lights may be turned on by pressing the on-off
switch to the on position. Lights will go out when the bail
wire is released. (See Fig 16)

ON/ OFF BUTTON

The lights will illuminate when the bail wire is pulled as
long as the on-off switch remains in the on position.
When job is completed, press switch to the off position.

OPERATING

Removing snow
Before starting work, thoroughly inspect the area where
the equipment is to be used and remove all doormats
sleds, boards, wires and any other foreign objects.
Check the condition of the snow thrower before operating
it to ensure that the auger turns freely.
Check the auger for wear and tear at regular intervals.
Make sure all fasteners on the snow thrower (screws,
nuts, etc.) are fully tightened.
Position the discharge chute so that snow will discharge
in a safe direction. Do not direct the discharge towards
people or areas where property can be damaged. Keep
children, pets and others away for the work area. Do not
walk in front of the snow thrower when it is running.
Direct the discharge to the right or left by turning the
discharge chute with the chute crank. The chute can be
adjusted up to 180 degrees.
The chute deflector on the top of the discharge chute
controls the height of the discharge. Loosen both of the
knobs to raise or lower the deflector to the desired height
and tighten the knobs to secure the deflector.
NOTE: Do not over-tighten the knobs.
For the most efficient snow removal throw the snow
downwind and slightly overlap each swath.
Push the snow thrower forward at a comfortable rate of
speed, yet slow enough to clear the path completely. The
width and depth of the snow determines your forward
speed.
When turning at the end of a swath, use the wheel on
one side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the snow thrower
on this pivot point while turning.
The snow thrower can remove up to 12 inches deep in
one pass. To shave down larger banks of snow, lift the
snow thrower by the primary and auxiliary handles and
place the snow thrower on the bank. Let the weight of
the snow thrower shave down the bank by rocking it in a
back-and-forth motion.
When clearing steps, hold the snow thrower by the
primary and auxiliary handles and use a swinging or
sweeping motion.
Clear snow often, before it gets too deep. It is best to
remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.
Some parts of the snow thrower may freeze under
extreme temperature conditions. If parts freeze while the
snow thrower is in use, stop the snow thrower, remove
the battery and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts of
ice before restarting or operating the snow thrower. Do
not attempt to operate the snow thrower with frozen parts
or try to force controls that are frozen.
