top
layer
and
making
multiple
passes
(Fig.
10).
For
large
areas,
a
definite
pattern
of
operation
is
required
to
thoroughly
clean
an
area
of
snow.
These
patterns
will
avoid
throwing
snow
in
unwanted
places
as
well
as
eliminating
a
second
removal
of
snow.
(Fig.
11)
Pattern
A:
Throw
the
snow
to
the
right
or
left
side
where
it
is
possible,
as
on
a
long
driveway
it
is
advantage
to
start
in
the
middle.
Plow
from
one
end
to
the
other,
throwing
snow
to
both
sides.
Pattern
B:
If
the
snow
can
only
be
thrown
to
one
side
of
the
driveway
or
sidewalk
(above),
start
on
the
opposite
side.
z
Scraping
the
snow
all
the
way
down
to
the
pavement
will
wear
out
the
scraper
and
auger.
To
spare
the
machinery,
one
or
two
inches
of
snow
can
be
left
behind,
to
be
handled
with
de
‐
icing
salt
or
a
shovel.
z
After
clearing
the
snow,
let
the
motor
run
for
a
few
minutes
so
that
the
ice
doesn’t
freeze
any
moving
parts.
Then
switch
off
the
motor,
wait
for
all
moving
parts
to
stop,
and
wipe
the
ice
and
snow
off
the
appliance.
Warning!
To
avoid
serious
personal
injury,
do
not
use
hands
or
feet
to
unclog
chute.
