Removing snow

Before starting work, make sure that the area to be clear is free of stones, debris, wires and any other objects.

Make sure all fasteners (screws, nuts, etc.) are always fully tightened so that you can work safely with the
appliance.

Check the auguer for wear and tear at regular intervals.

Position discharge chute in safe direction and angle, away from operator and bystanders.

Clearing snowfall often, before it gets too deep. Snow is best removed as soon as possible after snow falls.

Lift the auguer off surface slightly before switch on.

Switch on and tilt the appliance forward until the scraper blade contacts the ground. Push the appliance 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.

Direct the snow to the right or to the left by holding the appliance at a slight angle. For the most efficient snow
removal, throw the snow downwind, and slightly overlap each swath.

The appliance can remove snow up to 12 cm deep in one pass. When clearing deeper drifts, hold the appliance by
the upper and lower handles and use a swinging or sweeping motion. Shaving off the top layer and making multiple
passes (Fig. 5).
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. 6)
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.

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.
 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.
