wheels on one side as the pivot point.
Slightly tilt the SnowThrower 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 SnowThrower 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 SnowThrower, do not
drag the power cable violently or roughly.
The SnowThrower should move within the
range that the cable can reach.
7) Do not push the SnowThrower with
excessive force.You should push the
