SNOW THROWING TIPS
1. For maximum snow thrower efficien-
cy in removing snow, adjust ground
speed. Go slower in deep, freezing
or wet snow. If the wheels slips, re-
duce forward speed.
2. Most efficient snow throwing is ac-
complished when the snow is re-
moved immediately after iffalls.
3. For complete snow removal, sligh'dy
overlap each path previously taken.
4. The snow should be discharged
down wind whenever possible.
5. For normal usage, set the skids so
that the scraper bar is 1/8" above
the skids. For extremely hard-
packed snow surfaces, adjust the
skids upward so that the scraper
bar touches the ground.

set the skids at 1-1/4" below the
scraper bar. See To Adjust Skid
Height paragraph in the Service &

After the snow throwing job has
been completed, allow the engine to
idle for a few minutes, which will
melt snow and accumulated ice off
the engine.
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly
after each use.
Remove ice and snow accumulation
and all debris from the entire snow
thrower, and flush with water (ifpos-
sible) to remove all salt or other
chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.
