• Pushtheprimerbuttonwhilecoveringtheventholes SNOW THROWING TIPS
as follows: (Remove finger from primer button be_ O
tween primes)
Do not pdme if temperature is above 50° E
Two times if temperature is 50° F to 15° F
Four times if temperature is below 15° F.
e
e Pull the starter handle with a smooth rapid move-
ment° Do not allow the starter rope to snap back.
Rewind smoothly while holding the starter handle. If
the engine fires but does not start, putt the starter
handle until the engine starts, e
e Afterthree pulls, repeatthe priming and pulling steps
again.
e As the engine warms up and begins to operate
evenly, move the choke control slowly to the OFF
position. Ifthe engine falters, return to 1/2choke until
it runs smoothly, then move to OFF position..
NOTE; Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
before using snow thrower, as the engine will not develop
full power until it reaches operating temperature
WARM START
e Be sure the choke is in the OFF position and pull the
starter handle until the engine starts.
O Do not prime a warm engine if the engine fails to
start, followthe Cold Engine Start instructions above.

CAUTION: NEVER RUN ENGINE INDOORS
OR IN ENCLOSED_ POORLY VENTILATEDAREAS. ENGINE EXHAUST CONTAINS
CARBON MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS
AND DEADLY GAS.
ALWAYS STAND BEHIND SNOW THROWER
(OPERATOR'S POSITION) WHEN STARTING EN-
GINE.
DO NOT PUT HANDS, FEET, HAIR OR LOOSE
CLOTHING IN OR NEAR THE DISCHARGE CHUTE
DEFLECTOR OR AUGER HOUSING WHILE THE
ENGINE IS RUNNING. THE TEMPERATURE OF
THE MUFFLER AND NEARBY AREAS MAY EX-
CEED 150° F.; AVOID THESE AREAS ALSO°

BY THE AUGER, MAY BE THROWN WITH
SUFFICIENT FORCE TO CAUSE PER-
SONAL INJURY OR PROPERTy DAMAGE.
This snow thrower wilt propel itself forward when the
handle is raised enough to cause the auger blades to
contact the ground The auger should stop when
auger control bar is released If it does not, refer to
Adjust Auger Control Cable paragraph on page 14
For most efficienl snow throwing, turn the discharge
chute deflector to throwsnow downwind, and slightly
overlap each swath. In light snow take upto a full cut
and in heavy snow take less than a full cut.
The distance snow will be discharged can be
adjusted by moving the discharge chute deflector
Raise the deflector for more distance or lower the
deflector for less distance.
O In windy conditions, lower the chute deflector to
direct discharged snow close to the ground where it
is less likely to blow into unwanted areas
O Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys and
other foreign objects for safety and to prevent dam-
age to the snow thrower
• Do not use the auger propelling feature when
clearing gravel or crushed rock driveways Move the
handle down to raise the auger slightly
O The allowable forward speed of the snow thrower is
dependent on the depth and weight of the snow.
Experience will establish the most effective method
of using the snow thrower under different conditions.
DRY AND AVERAGE SNOW
e
Snow up to eight inch depth can be removed rapidly
and easily by walking at a moderate rate For snow or
drifts of a greater depth you may find it desirabfe to
slow your pace to allow the discharge chute to
dispose of the snow as rapidly as the auger receives
the snow
O Plan to have the snow discharged in the direction the
wind is blowing
WET PACKED SNOW
@ Move slowly into snow of this condition The greater
the depth, the slower you should go. When it appears
that the wet, packed snow is causing the auger to
slow down and the chute to clog, back off and begin
a series of short jabs into the snow These short back
and forth, 4 to 6 inch, jabbing motions wilt "belch" the
snow from the chute
SNOW BANKS AND DRIFTS
O
In snow of greater depth than the unit, use the
"jabbing" technique described above. Turn the dis-
charge chute away from the snow bank More time
will be required to remove snow of this type than level
snow
