Powering On and Off

1. To power on, depress
and hold the safety
switch button found
alongside the switch
housing (Fig. 21).
2. While depressing the safety switch button, pull the
ON/OFF switch bail toward you. Once the machine
powers on, release the safety switch button and
begin operation (Fig. 22).
The machine can only be started by depressing the
safety switch button first, followed by squeezing
the ON/OFF switch bail; reverse operation will not
start the machine.
3. To power off, release your grip on the ON/OFF
switch bail.
4. The LED light can
be used to illuminate
the surface in front in
the dark. To use the
light, turn on the light
switch located on
the back side of the
snowblower (Fig. 23).
NOTE: The light will only turn ON when
the snow thrower is running. After
finishing your work session, REMEMBER
to TURN OFF the light switch.
Moving the Machine & Plowing the Snow
WARNING: Foreign objects, such as
rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or
string, can be picked up and thrown
by the snowblower, causing serious
personal injury. Remove all foreign
objects from the area to be plowed
before operating the snowblower.

1. Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects
that can become thrown by the rotating paddle.
Perform a thorough inspection of the area
since some objects may be hidden from view
by surrounding snow. If the snowblower hits an
obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use,
stop the snowblower, disconnect the extension
cord, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit
for damage. Repair or replace any damaged part
before restarting and operating the unit.
2. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from
the area of operation. Be aware that the normal
noise of the machine when turned on may make it
difficult for you to hear approaching people.
3. When moving the snowblower, use the wheels
on one side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the
snowblower on this pivot point to move it forward
or backward.
4. Start your clearing path near the electrical outlet
and work outward, throwing snow in a back and
forth motion. To clear in the opposite direction,
step over the cord and pivot the snowblower on its
wheels. Make sure to overlap clearing paths.
5. Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the
same direction as the wind so that the snow is not
thrown against the wind (and then back into your
face and onto the just cleared path).
6. While moving the snowblower, do not drag the
power cable violently or roughly. The snow thrower
should move within the range that the cable can
reach.
7. Do not push the snowblower with excessive force.
You should push the machine gently and evenly in
accordance with the unit's throw rate.
8. Do not apply additional man-made load to the
engine since this may cause engine damage.
9. Some parts of the snowblower may freeze under
extreme temperature conditions. Do not attempt
to operate the snowblower with frozen parts. If
the parts freeze while the snowblower is in use,
stop the snowblower, unplug the extension cord,
and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts before
restarting or operating the snowblower. Never
force controls that have frozen.
10. When working on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved
surfaces, avoid throwing loose surface material
along with the snow by pushing down on the
handle to raise the scraper bar at the base of the
unit above the pebbles or gravel.
