after starting. The engine will not develop full power
until it reaches operating temperature.
WARNING: The muffler, engine and
surrounding areas become hot and can
cause a burn. Do not touch.
• 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. Adjust downward
when using on gravel or crushed rock.
• Avoid possible starter freeze-up. Clean the snow
thrower thoroughly after each use.
