WARNING
Operating Tips
• For most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
• Discharge snow downwind whenever possible. Slightly
overlap each previous swath.
• Set the slide shoes 1/4” below the shave plate for
normal usage. The slide shoes may be adjusted to low
position, see Figure for hard-packed snow.
NOTE: It is not recommended that you operate
this snowthrower on gravel as loose gravel can be
easily picked up and thrown by the auger causing
personal injury, property damage and/or damage to your
snowthrower.
• If for some reason, you have to operate the
snowthrower on gravel, keep the slide shoe in the
highest position for maximum clearance between the
ground and the shave plate.
• Be certain to follow the precautions listed under “To
Stop Engine” to prevent possible freeze-up.
• Clean the snowthrower thoroughly after each use.
Clean-Out Tool
WARNING: Never use your hands to
clear a clogged chute assembly. Shut
off engine and remain behind handles
until all moving parts have stopped
before unclogging.
• Release both the auger control and the drive/auger
control lock.
• Stop the engine by moving the throttle to the stop
position.
• Remove the clean-out tool from the mounting clip.
• Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to
remove any snow and ice in the chute assembly.
• Re-fasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on
the rear of the auger housing and restart engine.
• While standing in the operator’s position (behind the
snow thrower), engage the auger control for a few
seconds to clear any remaining snow or ice from the
chute assembly before continuing to clear snow.
