3) When moving the snow thrower, use the
wheels on one side as the pivot point.
Slightly tilt the snow thrower on this pivot
point to move it forward or backward.
4) Start your clearing path near the electrical
outlet and work outward, throwing snow
in a back and forth motion. To clear in the
opposite direction, step over the cord and
pivot the snow thrower on its wheels.
Make sure to overlap clearing paths.
5) Note wind direction. If possible, move in
the same direction as the wind so that the
snow is not thrown against the wind (and
thus back into your face and on the just
cleared path).
6) While moving the snow thrower, do not
drag the power cable violently or roughly.
The snow thrower should move within the
range that the cable can reach.
7) Do not push the snow thrower with
excessive force. You should push the
machine gently and evenly in accordance
with the unit’s throw rate.
8) Do not apply additional man-made load
to the engine since this may cause engine
damage.
9) Some parts of the snow thrower may
freeze under extreme temperature
conditions. Do not attempt to operate
the snow thrower with frozen parts. If the
parts freeze while the snow thrower is in
use, stop the snow thrower, unplug the
extension cord, and inspect for frozen
parts. Free all parts before restarting or
operating the snow thrower. Never force
controls that have frozen.
10) Working on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved
surfaces - To avoid throwing loose surface
material along with the snow, pushes
down on the handle to raise the scraper at
the base of the unit above the pebbles or
gravel.
3. CHANGING THROW DIRECTION AND
THROW HEIGHT (See Fig. T, U)
WARNING: Never direct the snow
discharge chute at the operator,
at bystanders, at vehicles or at nearby
windows. The discharged snow and
foreign objects accidentally picked
up by the snow thrower can cause
serious damage and personal injury.
Always orient the discharge chute in
the opposite direction from where you,
bystanders, surrounding vehicles, or
windows are located.
1) The discharge chute can be adjusted 180
degrees by rotating the chute crank. Rotate
the chute control crank clockwise to move
the discharge chute to the left (See Fig. T);
counterclockwise to move the chute to the
right (See Fig. U).
2) The chute deflector on the top of the
discharge chute controls the height of the
snow stream. Loosen both chute deflector
knobs to raise or lower the deflector to the
desired height of snow you wish to throw.
Tighten the knobs to secure the deflector
(See Fig. V).
NOTE: Do not overtighten the chute deflector
knobs.
WARNING: Make sure that the
chute deflector snaps and locks
completely onto the discharge chute.
An opening between the discharge
chute and the chute deflector may
allow foreign objects to be picked up
by the snow thrower and thrown in the
direction of the operator causing serious
boldly injury.
Do not advance the chute deflector too
far forward causing an opening to appear
between the deflector and discharge
chute.
Do not overtighten the knobs on the
chute deflector (See Fig. I).
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: All electrical repairs should
be performed only by an Authorized
Service Dealer.
NOTE: Determine the left and right sides
of the machine from the normal operating
position.
WARNING: If the extension cord
is plugged into the snowthrower,
someone could accidentally operate
snowthrower while you are performing
maintenance on it, causing serious
