Operating Tips
•
Start the machine and tilt it forward until the
scraper blade contacts the ground. Push the
machine forward at a comfortable rate of speed,
yet slow enough to clear the path completely. The
width and depth of the snow determines your
forward speed.
•
For the most efficient snow removal, throw the
snow downwind, and slightly overlap each swath.
•
The machine can remove snow up to 15 cm (6
inches) deep in one pass. When clearing deeper
drifts, hold the machine by the upper and lower
handles and use a swinging or sweeping motion.
Remove a maximum of 15 cm (6 inches) with each
pass and repeat as many times as required.
