Operator's Manual

• Do not overload the snowthrower by clearing snow at

too fast a rate. If the engine slows down, shift the

snowthrower into a lower gear to reduce the forward

speed.

• In wet or slushy conditions, maintain maximum engine

speed, and do not overload the engine to prevent

clogging the discharge chute.

• If the front of the snowthrower tends to ride up, reduce

the forward speed by shifting the snowthrower into a

lower gear. If the front still tends to ride up, lift up on

both handgrips to hold down the front of snowthrower.

• If the wheels slip, shift the snowthrower into a lower

gear to reduce the forward speed.

• After clearing the snow, let the engine run for a few

minutes to prevent moving parts from freezing. Engage

the auger/impeller to clear any remaining snow from

inside the housing. Shut off the engine, wait for all

moving parts to stop, and remove all ice and snow from

the snowthrower.

• With the engine shut off, pull the recoil starter handle

several times to prevent the recoil starter from freezing

up.

• When you are not using the snowthrower, close the fuel

shutoff valve and remove the key.
