OPERATION SNOW THROWING TIPS • Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance. • Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Use the drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed. • It is easier and more efficient to remove snow immediately after it falls. • The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At this time the snow is usually dry and has not been exposed to the direct sun and warming temperatures. • Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all snow will be removed. • Throw snow downwind whenever possible. • Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow conditions. See "TO ADJUST SKID PLATES" in this section of this manual. • For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow removal by overlapping previous path and moving slowly. • Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This will help air flow and extend engine life. • After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run for a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine. • Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use. WARNING: Do not operate snow thrower if weather conditions impair visibility. Throwing snow during a heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you and be hazardous to the safe operation of the snow thrower. 14
