OPERATION
STOP THE ENGINE
Before stopping the engine, allow it to run for a few minutes to help dry off
any moisture on the engine.
WARNING: Gasoline and vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can
cause severe burns or death. DO NOT choke the
carburetor to stop the engine.
1. Remove the safety key (A). Keep the safety key out of the reach of
children.
CLEAR A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE
WARNING: Hand contact with the rotating impeller
inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of
injury associated with snowthrowers. Never clear or
unclog discharge chute with your hands, or while engine
is running. Fingers can quickly become caught and
traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.
• SHUT OFF THE ENGINE!
• Wait 10 seconds to be sure that the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
• Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
A clean-out tool (A, Figure 10) is attached to either the handle or the top of the
auger housing. Use the clean-out tool to remove snow from the auger housing.

1. Most efficient snowthrowing is accomplished when snow is removed
immediately after it falls.
2. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each swath previously taken.
3. Snow should be discharged downwind whenever possible.
4. For normal usage, set the skids 1/8 inch (3 mm) below the scraper
bar. For extremely hard-packed snow surfaces, the skids may be ad-
justed upward to ensure cleaning efficiency.
5. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, the skids should be set at 1-1/4
inch (32 mm) below the scraper bar (see "Adjust Skid Height" in the
MAINTENANCE section of this manual). Rocks and gravel must not
be picked up and thrown by the machine.
6. After the snowthrowing job has been completed, allow the engine to
idle for a few minutes, to melt snow and ice accumulated on the
engine.
7. Clean the snowthrower thoroughly after each use.
8. Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debris from the entire
snowthrower, and flush with water (if possible) to remove all salt or
other chemicals. Wipe snowthrower dry.
9. Before starting snowthrower, always inspect augers and impeller for
ice accumulation and/or debris, which could result in snowthrower
damage.
