SNOW REMOVAL

IMPORTANT: Allow unit and engine to adjust to the

2. Engage Attachment Clutch - Right Hand Lever.

3. Engage Traction Drive Clutch - Left Hand Lever.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overload unit capacity by

attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate. Use slow

speed to clear deep or hard packed snow.

Tips for Operation

Snow is best removed as soon as possible after snow

fall.

To clear an area, run unit in an overlapping series of

paths. For large areas, start in the middle and throw

snow to each side, so snow is not cleared more than

once.

ALWAYS direct snow away from area to be cleared and

with direction of the wind.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW

INSTRUCTIONS could result in personal

injury and/or damage to unit. DO NOT

attempt to start your unit at this time. Read

entire Owner/Operator Manual and the

Engine Manual first.
