SNOW THROWING TIPS

• Always operate the snow thrower with the engine atfull throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance,

• Goslowerindeep, freezingorheavywetsnow. Usethedrive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed.

• It is easier and more efficient to remove snow imme-diately after it falls.

• The best time to remove snow is the early morning. Atthis time the snow is usually dry and has not been ex-posed to the direct sun and warming temperatures,

• Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure allsnow will be removed.

• Throw snow downwind whenever possible.

• Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snowconditions. See "TO ADJUST SKID PLATES" in thissection of this manual.

• For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snowremoval byoverlapping previous path and moving slowly.

• Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. Thiswill help air flow and extend engine life.

• After snow-threwing is completed, allow engine to runfora few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.

• Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after eachuse and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits fromforming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor,fuel hose, or tank duringstorage. Also,alcohol blended fuels(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attractmoisture which leads to separation and formation of acidsduring storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system ofan engine while in storage.

• Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and lettingit run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in thefuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min-imizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer toallow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not emptythe gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
