SNOW BLOWING
TIPS
It
is
easier and more efficient
to
remove snow immediately after
it
falls.
The best time
to
remove snow
is
the
early morning.
At
this time
the
snow
is
usually
dry
and
has
not
been exposed
to
the
direct sun
and warming temperatures.
Slightly overlap each successive path
to
ensure all snow will
be
removed.
For large areas,
start
in the middle and
throw
snow
to
each side,
so
snow
is
not
cleared more than once.
For extremely heavy snow, reduce the
width
of
snow removal by
overlapping previous path and moving slowly.
Throw
snow downwind whenever possible.
Keep engine clean and clear
of
snow during
use.
This will help air
flow
and extend engine life.
After
snow-throwing
is
completed, let
the
engine run
for
a
few
minutes
to
help
dry
off
the moisture on the engine and prevent
moving parts from freezing.
Engage
the auger/impeller
to
clear
any remaining snow from inside the housing. Rotate the discharge
chute
to
prevent
it
from freezing. Stop the engine,
wait
for
all
moving parts
to
stop, and remove all ice and snow from
the
snow
thrower.
With
the engine off, pull the recoil starter handle several
times
to
prevent the recoil starter from freezing up.
