CONGRATULATIONS on your purchase of a new snow thrower. It has been designed, engineered and manufactured to give best possible dependability and performance. Should you experience any problem you cannot easily remedy, please contact your nearest authorized service center. [. . . ] Chute handle To raise or lower the angle of the chute deflector, loosen the chute deflector knob on the chute deflector and move the chute deflector up or down (Figure 18). 10 · Operating Tips · The auger blades can throw stones, toys, and other foreign objects and cause serious personal injury to the operator or to bystanders. · Keep the area to be cleared free of all objects that the auger blades could pick up and throw. · Keep all children and pets away from the area of operation. · Do not operate snow thrower if weather conditions impair visibility. Throwing snow during a heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you and be hazardous to the safe operation of the snow thrower. · · · · · · 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 extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow removal by overlapping previous path and moving slowly. Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This will help air flow and extend engine life. After snow-throwing is completed, allow engine to run for a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine. Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use. Maintenance NOTE: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. 11 Adjusting the Control Cable Checking the Control Cable Release the control bar to remove the slack in the control cable (Figure 20).
