Use and Care Manual

Always shut off engine, remove key, and close fuel shut-

off valve when transporting unit on a truck or trailer.

Do not transport machine while engine is running.

It is easier and more efcient to remove snow immediately after

it falls.

The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At this time

the snow is usually dry and has not been exposed to the direct sun

and warming temperatures.

Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all snow will be

removed.

For large areas, start in the middle and throw snow to each side, so

snow is not cleared more than once.

For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow removal by

overlapping previous path and moving slowly.

Throw snow downwind whenever possible.

Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This will help air

ow and extend engine life.

After snow-throwing is completed, let the engine run for a few

minutes to help dry off the moisture on the engine and prevent

moving parts from freezing. Engage the auger to clear any

remaining snow from inside the housing. Rotate the discharge

chute to prevent it from freezing. Stop the engine, wait for all

moving parts to stop, and remove all ice and snow from the snow

blower. With the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle several

times to prevent the recoil starter from freezing up.

To travel from one work area to another:

1. Set throttle to slow or part-throttle position.

2. Press down on handle bars enough to raise front of unit slightly

off surface.

3. Engage drive clutch without engaging auger clutch.

Use extra care when loading or unloading unit onto trailer or truck.

Secure unit chassis to transport vehicle. Never secure from rods

or linkages that could be damaged.
