3. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap
leach previous path.
4. When possible, discharge the snow down wind.
5. The distance the 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.
6. In windy conditions, lower the chute deflector
to direct the discharged snow close to the
ground where it is less likely to blow into un-
wanted areas.
7. For safety and to prevent damage to the snow
thrower, keep the area to be cleared free of
stones, toys, and other foreign objects.
8. Do not use the auger propelling feature when
clearing gravel or crushed rock driveways. Move
the handle down to slightly raise the auger.
9. The forward speed of the snowthrower is depen-
dent on the depth and weight of the snow. Exper-
ience will establish the most effective method of
using the snow thrower under different conditions.
10. After each snow throwing job, allow the engine to
run for a few minutes. The snow and accumulated
ice will melt off the engine.
11. Clean the snowthrower after each use.
12. Remove ice, snow, and debris from the entire
snow thrower. Flush with water to remove all
salt or other chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.
Dry and Average Snow
1. Snow up to eight inches deep can be removed
rapidly and easily by walking at a moderate
rate. For snow drifts of a greater depth, slow
your pace to allow the discharge chute to dis-
pose of the snow as rapidly as the auger receives
the snow.
2. Plan to have the snow discharged in the direction
the wind is blowing.
Wet Packed Snow
Move slowly into wet, packed snow. If the wet,
packed snow causes the auger to slow down or
the discharge chute begins to clog, back off and
begin a series of short back and forth jabs into
the snow. These short back and forth jabs, four
to six inches, will “belch” the snow from the chute.
Snow Banks And Drifts
In snow of greater depth than the unit, use the
same “jabbing” technique described above. Turn
the discharge chute away from the snow bank.
More time will be required to remove snow of this
type than level snow.
