Preventing Freeze-up after
Use
• Let the engine run for a few minutes to prevent
moving parts from freezing. Stop the engine, wait
for all moving parts to stop, and remove ice and
snow from the snowthrower.
• With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle
several times and push the electric start button once
(if applicable) to prevent the recoil and electric
starters from freezing up.
Operating Tips
The rotor blades can throw stones, toys, and
other foreign objects and cause serious personal
injury to the operator or to bystanders.
• Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects
that the rotor blades could pick up and
throw.
• Keep all children and pets away from the
area of operation.
• Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.
• To self-propel, raise the handle and tilt the
snowthrower slightly forward, lifting the wheels off
the ground. The more you tilt the handle forward,
the faster the snowthrower self-propels.
• If the snowthrower does not propel itself forward
on slippery surfaces or in heavy snow, push forward
on the handle, but allow the snowthrower to work
at its own pace.
• Overlap each swath to ensure complete snow
removal.
• Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
• In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive force
when trying to operate frozen controls. If you have
difculty operating any control or part, start the
engine and let it run for a few minutes.
