3. When moving the snow blower, use the wheels on one side
as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the snow blower on this pivot
point to move it forward or backward.
4. Start your clearing path outward, throwing snow in a back
and forth motion. To clear in the opposite direction,
pivot the snow blower on its wheels. Make sure to overlap
clearing paths.
5. Note the wind direction. If possible, move in the same
direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown against
the wind (and thus back into your face and on the just
cleared path).
6. Do not push the snow blower with excessive force.
You should push the machine gently and evenly in
accordance with the unit's throw rate.
7. Do not apply additional man-made load to the motor since
this may cause motor damage.
8. Some parts of the snow blower may freeze under extreme
temperature conditions. Do not attempt to operate the snow
blower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while the snow
blower is in use, stop the snow blower, remove the batteries,
and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts before restarting
or operating the snow blower. Never force controls that have
frozen.
9. When working on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved surfaces,
avoid throwing loose surface material along with the snow
by pushing down on the handle to raise the scraper at the
base of the unit above the pebbles or gravel.
Headlight
The snow blower is equipped with a headlight that can be used
to illuminate the forward path in the dark. The headlight will be
turned on once the machine is started by depressing the safety
switch button and pulling the ON/OFF trigger
(Fig. 18).
NOTE: The light will only turn ON when the snow blower is
running. The light will automatically turn off 30 seconds after the
machine powers off.

WARNING
Never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator,
at bystanders, at vehicles, or at nearby windows. The
discharged snow and foreign objects accidentally
picked up by the snow blower can cause serious
damage and personal injury.
Always orient the discharge chute in the opposite
direction from where you, bystanders, surrounding
vehicles, or windows are located.
