For large areas a definite pattern of operation is required
to thoroughly clean an area of snow. These patterns
will avoid throwing snow in unwanted places as well as
eliminating a second removal of snow. (Fig. 7)
Pattern A: Throw the snow to the right or left side where
it is possible. For areas such as a long driveway it is
advantageous to start in the middle. Plow from one end
to the other, throwing snow to both sides.
Pattern B: If the snow can only be thrown to one side of
the area to be cleared, start on the opposite side.
Scraping the snow all the way down to the pavement will
wear out the scraper and auger. To protect these parts,
one or two inches of snow can be left behind and cleared
with de-icing salt or a shovel.
After clearing the snow, continue to run the snow thrower
for a few minutes to prevent ice from freezing on moving
parts. Then switch off the motor, wait for all moving parts
to stop, and wipe the ice and snow from the snow thrower
with a clean rag.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, do not
use hands or feet to unclog the chute.
The snow thrower is equipped with a thermal safety
switch that will automatically shut off the motor in the
event the motor overheats. Should this occur, unplug
the unit and wait for the motor to cool down. This should
take about two minutes. The switch will reset itself after
the motor has cooled down and you can resume normal
operation.
