A gap between the discharge chute and the chute
deflector may allow snow and anything that can
be picked up by snowthrower to fly in the
direction of the operator. Thrown objects could
cause serious personal injury.
• Do not force the chute deflector too far forward
so that a gap appears between the discharge
chute and chute deflector.
• Do not overtighten the locknuts that hold the
chute deflector in place so that you need to use
excessive force to adjust the chute deflector.
Warning
• Begin removing snow near the electrical outlet and
work outward. Blow back and forth, not away from
and toward the outlet.
• When turning at the end of a swath, step over the cord
and turn the snowthrower.
• Always overlap each swath and discharge the snow
downwind when possible.
• Shave down large banks of snow by placing the
snowthrower on the bank. Lift the snowthrower by the
primary and secondary handles only (Fig. 11). Let the
weight of the snowthrower shave down the bank in a
back-and-forth motion.

• When clearing steps or deep drifts, hold the
snowthrower by the primary and secondary handles
(Fig. 11) and use a swinging or sweeping motion.
When using the secondary handle, never direct
the snow discharge chute at the operator or at
bystanders. The snowthrower can throw foreign
objects and cause serious personal injury.
When using the secondary handle, always turn the
discharge chute in the opposite direction from
where you or bystanders are standing.
Warning
• Keep the extension cord clear of obstructions, sharp
objects, and all moving parts. Do not pull sharply on
cord or abuse it in any manner. Frequently inspect the
extension cord for damage that may result in an
electric shock. If the extension cord becomes damaged
in any way, replace it.
• In some cold and snowy weather conditions, some
controls and moving parts may freeze. Therefore,
when any control becomes hard to operate, stop the
motor, disconnect the extension cord, and check for
frozen parts. Do not use excessive force when trying
to operate frozen controls. Free all the controls and
moving parts before operating.
• When operating the snowthrower, keep the wheels
1 inch (2.5 cm) off the pavement by tipping the
snowthrower forward. This helps prevent the snow
from building up on the wheels.
• After clearing the snow, let the motor run for a few
minutes so that the ice doesn’t freeze any moving
parts. Then shut off the motor, wait for all moving
parts to stop, and wipe the ice and snow off the
snowthrower. Rotate the chute crank several times to
remove the snow from the snowthrower.
• Lock the snowthrower when you are not using the
snowthrower. Disconnect the extension cord. Hold the
key down, turn it clockwise and remove it from the
handle to prevent an unauthorized person from using
the snowthrower.
