Operating Tips
  The auger 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 auger blades could pick up and throw.
•  Keep all children and pets away from the area 
of operation.
•  Do not operate snow thrower if weather condi-
tions im pair visibility.  Throwing snow dur ing 
a heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you and 
be hazardous to the safe operation of the snow 
thrower.
Maintenance
NOTE: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position.
•  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 tem per a tures.
•  Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all 
snow will be removed.
•  Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
•  For extremely heavy snow, re duce the width of snow 
removal by over lap ping previous path and moving 
slowly.
• 
Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This 
will help air flow and extend engine life. 
• 
After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run 
for a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.
•  Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each 
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.
