Operating Tips

WARNING
The rotor blades can throw stones, toys,
and other foreign objects and cause serious
personal injury to you or bystanders.
• Keep the area to be cleared free of all
objects that the rotor blades could pick up
and throw.
• Keep all children and pets away from the
area of operation.
•
Remove the snow as soon as possible after it falls.
•
Overlap each swath to ensure complete snow
removal.
•
Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.
•
If the machine does not propel itself forward on
slippery surfaces or in heavy snow, push forward
on the handle, but allow the machine to work at
its own pace.
•
The machine may leave rubber marks on new
brushed or light-colored concrete. Test on an
inconspicuous location before use. These marks
are not permanent.
