mustadaptthelawntractorandsnowthrowertodepthof

• Beforebeginningoperation,thoroughlyinspectthe
areaofoperationandremovealldoormats,sleds,
boards,wiresandotherforeignobjects.
• Thespiralaugerspeedisdirectlyrelatedtoengine
speed.Formaximumsnowremovalanddischarge,
maintainhighenginer.p.m.(fullthrottle).Itisadvisable
to operate the lawn tractor at a slow ground speed
(1stgear)forsafeandefficientsnowremoval.
• Indeep,driftedorbankedsnowitwillbenecessaryto
use full throttle and a slow ground speed (1st gear).
Driveforwardintothesnow,depressthetractor's

thesnow.Repeatthismethoduntilapathiscleared.
On the second pass, overlap the rst enough to allow
the snow thrower to handle the snow without repeated
stoppingandstartingofforwardmotion.
• Inextremelydeepsnow,raisethesnowthrowerup
tothetransportpositiontoremovethetoplayerof
snow. Drive forward only until the front tires reach the
unclearedbottomlayerofsnow.Stopandallowthe

then lower the snow thrower to the ground. Drive the
tractorforwarduntilthesnowagainbecomestoo
deep. Repeating this process into and out of drifts will
eventually clear even the deepest of snow piles.
• Ifthesnowthrowerbecomescloggedwithsnowor
