Operation
NOTE: Before using this machine, make sure that the power
source you will use complies with the specications detailed
in this manual. Before inserting the plug into the socket, verify
that the snow thrower’s roll shaft and rubber plates are rmly
secured with screws, and that the rubber plates are facing the
correct direction. Perform a test run to ensure that the rotor
turns freely.
Securing the Extension Cord
1. For safe and ecient use of your snow thrower, use only
a UL-rated extension cord recommended for outdoor use.
Refer to the Extension Cord Chart that follows.
2. Push the loop of the extension cord through the slot from
the opposite side of the restraint hook. Position the loop
over the hook and pull the cable back through the slot
(Fig. 12).
3. Insert the female end of the extension cord into the
appliance's polarized male plug (Fig. 13).
4. Note that the snow thrower has a polarized male plug –
one prong in the plug is slightly longer and wider than the
other (Fig. 14). The extension cord female end should be
likewise polarized so that the extension cord ts snugly
into the appliance plug.
