DRY AND AVERAGE SNOW
1. Snow up to eight inches deep can
be removed rapidly and easily by
walking at a moderate rate. For
snow or drifts of a greater
depth,slow your pace to allow the
discharge chute to dispose of the
snow as rapidly as the auger re-
ceives the snow.
2. Plan to have the snow discharged in
the direction the wind is blowing.
WET PACKED SNOW
Move slowly into wet, packed snow. If
the wet, packed snow causes the auger
to slow down or the discharge chute be-
gins to clog, back off and begin a series
of short back and forth jabs into the
snow. These short back and forth jabs,
four to six inches, will "belch" the snow
from the chute.
SNOW BANKS AND DRIFTS
In snow of greater depth than the unit,
use the same "jabbing" technique de-
scribed above. Turn the discharge
chute away from the snow bank. More
time will be required to remove snow of
this type than level snow.
