Fig. 19
NOTE: Before using the machine, please make sure the power source you will use is in accordance
with the specifications shown in this manual. Before inserting the plug into the socket, make sure the
machine’s roll shaft and the snow thrower’s rubber plates are all fixed firmly with screws, and the
rubber plates are facing to the correct direction. Perform a test run to ensure that the rotor turns freely.
WARNING! The auger starts rotating immediately after the snow thrower is switched on. Keep hands and feet
away from the auger.

OPERATION 15
1. Keep the area of operation free of foreign objects that can become thrown by the rotor blades. Perform a
thorough inspection of the area since some objects may be hidden from view by surrounding snow. If the
snow thrower hits an obstruction or picks up a foreign object during use, stop the snow thrower, disconnect
the extension cord, remove the obstruction, and inspect the unit for damage. Repair or replace any damaged
part before restarting and operating the unit.
2. Keep children, pets, and bystanders away from the area of operation. Be aware that the normal noise of the
machine when turned on may make it difficult for you to hear approaching people.
3. When moving the snow thrower, use the wheels on one side as the pivot point. Slightly tilt the snow thrower
on this pivot point to move it forward or backward.
4. Start your clearing path near the electrical outlet and work outward, throwing snow in a back and forth
motion. To clear in the opposite direction, step over the cord and pivot the snow thrower on its wheels. Make
sure to overlap clearing paths.
5. Note wind direction. If possible, move in the same direction as the wind so that the snow is not thrown
against the wind (and thus back into your face and on the just cleared path).
6. While moving the snow thrower, do not drag the power cable violently or roughly. The snow thrower should
move within the range that the cable can reach.
7. Do not push the snow thrower with excessive force. You should push the machine gently and evenly in
accordance with the unit’s throw rate.
8. Do not apply additional man-made load to the engine since this may cause engine damage.
9. Some parts of the snow thrower may freeze under extreme temperature conditions. Do not attempt to
operate the snow thrower with frozen parts. If the parts freeze while the snow thrower is in use, stop the
snow thrower, unplug the extension cord, and inspect for frozen parts. Free all parts before restarting or
operating the snow thrower. Never force controls that have frozen.
10. Working on pebbles, gravel, or unpaved surfaces - To avoid throwing loose surface material along with the
snow, push down on the handle to raise the scraper at the base of the unit above the pebbles or gravel.
1. The discharge chute can be adjusted 180 degrees by rotating the chute crank. Rotate the chute control
crank clockwise to move the discharge chute to the left; counterclockwise to move the chute to the right.

Fig. 20-21
WARNING! Foreign objects, such as rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, or string, can be picked up and thrown by
the snow thrower, causing serious personal injury. Remove all foreign objects from the area to be plowed before
operating the snow thrower.
WARNING! Never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator, at bystanders, at vehicles or at nearby
windows. The discharged snow and foreign objects accidentally picked up by the snow thrower can cause serious
damage and personal injury. Always orient the discharge chute in the opposite direction from where you,
bystanders, surrounding vehicles, or windows are located

OPERATION 16
2. The chute deflector on the top of the discharge chute controls the height of the snow stream. Loosen both
chute deflector knobs to raise or lower the deflector to the desired height of snow you wish to throw. Tighten
the knobs to secure the deflector.
Fig. 22
NOTE: Do not overtighten the chute deflector knobs.
WARNING! Make sure that the chute deflector snaps and locks completely onto the discharge chute. An opening
between the discharge chute and the chute deflector may allow foreign objects to be picked up by the snow thrower
and thrown in the direction of the operator causing serious bodily injury. l Do not advance the chute deflector too far
forward causing an opening to appear between the deflector and discharge chute. l Do not overtighten the knobs
on the chute deflector.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE 17
Replacing the Rubber Plates
WARNING! Make sure to turn off the switch and disconnect the extension cord before performing any
maintenance task on your snow thrower.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Lifetime Lubrication
General Maintenance Tips
Lubrication is not necessary and may damage the unit. The snow thrower is lubricated for lifetime use at the
factory before shipment.
1. Do not attempt to repair the machine unless you have the proper tools and instructions for disassembly and
repair of the machine.
2. Check the shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to ensure that the equipment
is in safe working condition.
3. After each snow removal session, run the snow thrower for a few minutes to prevent the collector/impeller
from freezing. Shut off the motor, wait for all revolving parts to stop completely, and wipe residual ice and
snow off the unit. Rotate the chute crank several times to remove any excess snow.
4.Only use a cloth soaked with hot water and a soft brush to clean the snow thrower; never wet or spray water
on the machine!
5.Do not use detergent or solvents as these could cause irreparable damage to the snow thrower. Chemicals
can destroy the plastic parts.
6.To protect the snow thrower from corrosion when storing for long periods, lightly oil the metal parts.
7.Store the appliance in a dry area out of reach of children.
1. Detach the worn rubber plate by removing the two sets of nuts, bolts, and washers used to secure it.
2. Install the new rubber plate so that the coarse side faces inward and the smooth side faces outward.
3. Insert the bolt with the small flat washer into the corresponding holes on each end of the rubber plate.
Use the large flat washer and locknut to secure the bolt on each end. Install the other rubber plates in the
same way.
NOTE: When replacing worn rubber plates, pay close attention to carefully distinguish between the
coarse and smooth side of the plates. Place the coarse side inside and the smooth side outside.
