by attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate. 
Use slow speed to clear deep or hard packed 
snow.

Snow is best removed as soon as possible 
after snow fall.

To clear an area, run unit in an overlapping 
series of paths. For large areas, start in the 
middle and throw snow to each side, so snow 
is not cleared more than once.
ALWAYS direct snow away from area to be 
cleared and with direction of the wind.

To travel from one work area to another:

1. Set Throttle to Slow or Part-Throttle
