Operating Tips

WARNING
If the machine hits an object while in operation, the
object could be thrown toward you or bystanders,
causing serious personal injury.
Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects that the
rotor blades could pick up and throw.
•
Check the condition of the machine before operating it to
ensure that the rotor turns freely.
•
Always keep children and pets away from the area of
operation.
•
Keep the area to be cleared free of stones, toys, or other
objects which the rotor blades can throw. Such items could
be covered by snowfall and go unnoticed. If the machine
strikes an object during operation, stop the machine, unplug
the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and check the
machine for damage.
•
Begin removing snow near the electrical outlet and work
outward. Blow back and forth, not away from and toward the
outlet.
•
When turning at the end of a swath, step over the cord and
turn the machine.
•
Always overlap each swath and discharge the snow downwind
when possible.
WARNING
When using the discharge chute handle, never
direct the snow discharge chute toward you or
bystanders. The machine can throw objects and
cause serious personal injury.
When using the discharge chute handle, always
turn the discharge chute in the opposite direction
from where you or bystanders are standing.
•
Keep the extension cord clear of obstructions, sharp objects,
and all moving parts. Do not pull sharply on cord or abuse
it in any manner. Inspect the extension cord frequently for
damage that may result in an electric shock. If the extension
cord is damaged, replace it.
•
In cold and snowy weather conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze. Therefore, if any control becomes
difficult to operate, stop the motor, disconnect the extension
cord, and check for frozen parts. Do not use excessive force
when trying to operate frozen controls. Bring the machine
indoors to thaw frozen controls before operating it.
•
When operating the machine, keep the wheels 1 inch (2.5 cm)
off the pavement by tipping the machine forward. This helps
prevent the snow from building up on the wheels.
•
After clearing the snow, let the motor run for a few minutes
so that moving parts do not freeze. Then shut off the motor,
wait for all moving parts to stop, and wipe the ice and snow
off the machine. Rotate the chute crank several times to
remove any snow.

Maintenance

Important:
All electrical repairs should be performed by
an Authorized Service Dealer only.
Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the machine from
the normal operating position.
WARNING
If the extension cord is plugged into the machine,
someone could accidentally operate the machine while
you are performing maintenance on it, causing serious
personal injury.
Remove the interlock button (key) and disconnect the
extension cord before you perform any maintenance
on the machine.

Lubricating the Machine

You do not need to lubricate the machine; all the bearings have
been lubricated at the factory for the life of the machine.
Replacing the Scraper
The scraper is located at the bottom of the rotor housing as shown
in Figure 12.
