SNOW
THROWING
TIPS
1.
For maximum
snow
thrower
efficien-
cy in removing
snow, adjust ground
speed.
Go slower
in deep, freezing
or wet snow.
If the wheels
slips, re-
duce forward
speed.
2.
Most efficient
snow
throwing
is ac-
complished
when the snow
is re-
moved
immediately
after if falls.
3.
For complete
snow
removal,
slightly
overlap
each path previously
taken.
4.
The snow
should
be discharged
down wind whenever
possible.
5.
For normal
usage,
set the skids so
that the scraper
bar is 1/8" above
the skids.
For extremely
hard-
packed
snow surfaces,
adjust the
skids upward

bar touches

scraper bar. See To Adjust
Skid
Height paragraph in the Service &

section of this manu-
al. Rocks and gravel must not be
picked up and thrown by the ma-
chine.
After the snow throwing job has
been completed, allow the engine to
idle for a few minutes, which will
melt snow and accumulated
ice off
the engine.
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly
after each use.
Remove ice and snow accumulation
and all debris from the entire snow
thrower, and flush with water (if pos-
sible) to remove all salt or other
chemicals.
Wipe snow thrower dry.
