NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
as the engine will not develop full power until it reaches
operating temperature.
_Chute Clean-Out Tool
/Clip
,_ WARNING: The temperature of muffler and
surrounding areas may exceed 150 ° F. Avoid
these areas.
• For most efficient snow removal, remove snow
immediately after it falls.
• Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous swath.
• Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar for
normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted
upward for hard-packed snow.
NOTE: It is not recommended that you operate this
snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily
picked up and thrown by the auger causing an injury or
damage to the snow thrower.
• If for some reason, you have to operate the snow
thrower on gravel, keep the skid shoe in the highest
position for maximum clearance between the
ground and the shave plate.
• Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
Chute Clean-Out Tool
The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the
rear of the auger housing with a mounting clip. Never
use your hand to clean a clogged chute.
• Release both the auger control lever and the
traction/auger control lock lever.
• Stop the engine by removing the ignition key.
• Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which
secures it to the rear of the auger housing. See
Figure 19.
• Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to
remove any snow and ice in the discharge chute.
• 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 clutch lever
for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow or
ice from the discharge chute before continuing to
clear snow.
