Tips for Throwing Snow
Remove snow as soon as possible after it falls. This
produces best snow removal results.
Adjust skids to match the type of surface being
cleaned; refer to Adjusting Skids.
The snowthrower is designed to clean snow down to
the contact surface, but there are times when the front
of the snowthrower may tend to ride up. If this
happens, reduce forward speed.
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible, and
overlap each pass to ensure complete snow removal.
If wheels slip, shift into a lower gear to reduce
forward speed.
Run snowthrower for a few minutes after clearing
snow so moving parts do not freeze. Engage power
take off (PTO) to clear any remaining snow from
inside housing.
Do not overload snowthrower by clearing snow at too
fast a rate. If engine slows down, reduce forward
speed.
Always use full throttle (maximum engine speed)
when throwing snow.
In wet or slushy conditions, clogging of the discharge
chute will be reduced by maintaining maximum
engine speed and by not overloading the engine.
In some snow and cold weather conditions, some
controls and moving parts may freeze. Therefore,
when any control becomes hard to operate, stop the
machine and wait for all moving parts to stop; then
check all parts for freeze up. DO NOT USE
EXCESSIVE FORCE AND TRY TO OPERATE
THE CONTROLS WHEN FROZEN. Free all
controls and moving parts before operating.
