Operating Tips
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
as the engine will not develop full power until it
reaches operating temperature.
Warning: The temperature of muffler and
surrounding areas may exceed 150
o
F. Avoid
these areas.
• For most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
• Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous swath.
• Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar for
normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted
upward for hard-packed snow.
NOTE: It is not recommended that you operate this
snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily
picked up and thrown by the auger causing an injury or
damage to the snow thrower.
• If for some reason, you have to operate the snow
thrower on gravel, keep the skid shoe in the
highest position for maximum clearance between
the ground and the shave plate.
• Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
Before Stopping
• Run engine for a few minutes to help dry off any
moisture on engine.
• To avoid possible freeze-up of the starter, follow
these steps:
Recoil Starter
a. With the engine running, pull the starter rope
with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke three
or four times.
Electric Starter

120 Volt AC receptacle.
b. While the engine is running, push the starter
button and spin the starter for several
seconds.
c. Disconnect power cord from the receptacle
first, then from the snow thrower.
NOTE: The unusual sound from pulling the starter
rope in the case of the recoil starter, or from spinning
the starter in the case of the electric starter, will not
harm the engine.
