Snow Throwing Tips

lt

is

easier and

more

efficient

to

remove

snow

immediately

after

it

falls.

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

successi

ve

path

to

ensure ali

snow

will be

removed.

For

large areas,

start

in

the

middle

and

throw

snow

to

each

side,

so

snow

is

not

cleared

more

than

once.

For

e

xt

remely

heavy

snow,

reduce

the

width

of

snow

removal

by

overlapping

and

moving

slowly.

Throw

snow

downwind

whenever

possible.

Keep

engine

clean

and

clear

of

snow

during

use. This will

help

air

flow

and

extend

engine

life.

After

snow-throwing

is

completed,

let

the

engine

run

for

a

few

minutes

to

help

dry

off

the

moisture

on

the

engine

and

prevent

moving

parts

from

freezing

.

Engage

the

auger

to

clear

any

remaining

snow

from

inside

the

housing.

Rotate

the

discharge

chute

to

prevent

it

from

freezing

.

Stop

the

engine

,

wait

for

ali

moving

parts

to

stop,

and

remove

ali

ice

and

snow

from

the

snow

thrower.

With

the

engine

off.

pull

starter

times

to

prevent
