Operating Tips

If sno wthr o w er hits an object while in operation, the object could be thr o wn in operator’ s or bystander’ s dir ection. T hr o wn objects could cause serious per sonal injur y .

K eep the ar ea to be clear ed fr ee of all objects which may be pick ed up and thr o wn by the r otor blades.

• Chec k the condition of the sno wthro w er before

operating it to ensure that the rotor tur ns freely .

• Alw a ys k ee p c hildren and pets a w a y from the area of

operation.

• K ee p the area to be cleared free of stones , to ys , or other

objects whic h the rotor blades can thro w . Suc h items could be co v ered b y sno wfall and g o unnoticed. If the sno wthro w er strik es an object during operation, stop the sno wthro w er , unplug the extension cord, remo v e the obstr uction, and c hec k the sno wthro w er for damag e .

• T o adjust the disc harg e c hute , rotate the c hute crank

cloc kwise to mo v e the disc harg e c hute to the left; countercloc kwise to mo v e it to the right.

Note: T he c hute crank mak es a noise as y ou tur n the crank. T his is nor mal.

• T o adjust the height of the sno w stream, raise or lo w er

the c hute deﬂector handle ( Figure 10 ).

Figure 10

1. Chute deector handle

A gap betw een the discharge chute and the chute deﬂector may allo w the sno wthr o w er to thr o w sno w and objects in the dir ection of the operator . T hr o wn objects could cause serious per sonal injur y .

Figure 11

1. Primary handle 2. Secondary handle

• W hen clearing ste ps , hold the sno wthro w er b y the

primar y and secondar y handles and use a swinging or sw ee ping motion.

– Do not f orce the chute deﬂector too f ar

f orw ard so that a gap appear s betw een the discharge chute and chute deﬂector .

– Do not o v er tighten the lockn uts that hold the

chute deﬂector in place.

• Begin remo ving sno w near the electrical outlet and

w ork outw ard. Blo w bac k and for th, not a w a y from and to w ard the outlet.

• W hen tur ning at the end of a sw ath, ste p o v er the cord

and tur n the sno wthro w er .

• Alw a ys o v erlap eac h sw ath and disc harg e the sno w

do wnwind when possible .

• T o sha v e do wn larg e banks of sno w , lift the sno wthro w er

b y the primar y and secondar y handles ( Figure 11 ) and place the sno wthro w er on the bank. Let the w eight of the sno wthro w er sha v e do wn the bank in a bac k-and-for th motion.

W hen using the secondar y handle, nev er dir ect the sno w discharge chute at the operator or bystander s. T he sno wthr o w er can thr o w objects and cause serious per sonal injur y .

W hen using the secondar y handle, al w ays tur n the discharge chute in the opposite dir ection fr om wher e y ou or bystander s ar e standing .

• K ee p the extension cord clear of obstr uctions , shar p

objects , and all mo ving par ts . Do not pull shar ply on cord or abuse it in any manner . F requently inspect the extension cord for damag e that ma y result in an electric shoc k. If the extension cord becomes damag ed, re place it.

• In cold and sno wy w eather conditions , some controls

and mo ving par ts ma y freeze . T herefore , when any control becomes difﬁcult to operate , stop the motor , disconnect the extension cord, and c hec k for frozen par ts . Do not use ex cessi v e force when tr ying to operate frozen controls . F ree all the controls and mo ving par ts before operating .

• W hen operating the sno wthro w er , k ee p the wheels

1 inc h (2.5 cm) off the pa v ement b y tipping the sno wthro w er forw ard. T his helps prev ent the sno w from building up on the wheels .

• After clearing the sno w , let the motor r un for a few

min utes so that mo ving par ts don ’ t freeze . T hen shut off the motor , w ait for all mo ving par ts to stop , and wipe the ice and sno w off the sno wthro w er . R otate the c hute crank sev eral times to remo v e the sno w .

Maintenance

Important: All electrical r epair s should be

perf or med onl y by an Authoriz ed Ser vice Dealer .

Note: Deter mine the left and right sides of the mac hine from the nor mal operating position.

If the extension cord is plug ged into the sno wthr o w er , someone could accidentall y operate sno wthr o w er while y ou ar e perf or ming maintenance on it, causing serious per sonal injur y .

Disconnect the extension cord bef or e y ou perf or m an y maintenance.

Lubricating the Snowthrower

Y ou do not need to lubricate the sno wthro w er; all the bearings w ere lubricated at the factor y for the life of the sno wthro w er .
