•
Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
•
If the machine does not propel itself forward on
slippery surfaces or in heavy snow, push forward
on the handle, but allow the machine to work at
its own pace.
After Operation
After Operation Safety
•
Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel
tank inside a building where ignition sources are
present, such as hot water heaters, space heaters,
or clothes dryers. Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any enclosure.
•
When storing the machine for more than 30 days,
refer to
for important details.
Preventing Freeze-up after
Use
•
Let the engine run for a few minutes to prevent
moving parts from freezing. Shut off the engine,
wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove ice
and snow from the machine.
•
Clean off any snow and ice from the base of the
chute.
•
Rotate the discharge chute left and right to free
it from any ice buildup.
•
With the ignition key in the O
FF
position, pull the
recoil-start handle several times or connect the
electrical cord to a power source and the machine
and push the electric-start button once to prevent
the recoil starter and/or the electric starter from
freezing up (electric-start models only).
•
In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive
force when trying to operate frozen controls. If you
have difficulty operating any control or part, start
the engine and let it run for a few minutes.
•
Do not use the chute control to attempt to move a
frozen discharge chute. Hold down the blue knob
and use your hands to rotate the chute.
•
Transporting the machine in an open trailer or
vehicle can cause the controls or discharge chute
to freeze.
