Operating Instructions
WARNING: The Snowthrower is designed to clear
snow from level surfaces, such as driveways and
sidewalks. Caution should be exercised while op-
erating Snowthrower on steep sloping areas.
NOTE: Thoroughly inspect your Snowthrower for loose or
damaged parts prior to starting any snow clearing.
To Start
S To prevent accidental starting, remove key from control bar.
Figure 7.
S Attach strain relief around upper handle tube as follows:
S Loop strain relief around handle tube.
S Fasten strain relief to handle tube by inserting one tab through
first slot (Figure 8A), pulling until both tabs are through
(Figure 8B).
S Loop extension cord in strain relief through second slot as
illustrated in Figure 8C.
S Secure extension cord to strain relief by looping cord around
tabs as shown in Figure 8D.
S This will prevent disconnection in case of accidental pull.
S Connect extension cord to connecting lead form control bar.
NOTE: Connect Snowthrower to a UL approved two
conductor extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use only
with a wall receptacle installed in accordance with local
codes and inspection authorities. REPLACE DAMAGED
CORD IMMEDIATELY.
Use this chart to determine extension cord length and size.
Extension cord length Wire size
25-100 Feet 16
100-150 Feet 14
Do not exceed 150 feet in extension cord length.
Insert key into back of control bar.
The Snowthrower will now operate when the control bar is
squeezed. The Snowthrower will stop when the control bar is
released. Figure 7.
WARNING: The motor is equipped with a protect-
ing device that will disconnect power to the motor
temporarily if the Snowthrower is overworked,
and will automatically reset as the motor cools. If the mo-
tor stops, release control bar to avoid accidental starting
when the protector resets.
Push Snowthrower forward at a rate of speed comfortable for the
operator. Don’t force the Snowthrower, it will perform better at a
slower and constant speed. The depth and consistency of the
snow will govern the speed of forward travel.
If you find it necessary to clear snow from gravel or irregular
surfaces, push down on handle to raise impeller blades clear of
loose or irregular surfaces.
In deep snow it may be necessary to make two or three passes
over an area in order to clear it acceptably.
WARNING: Never direct snow discharge towards
bystanders, glass enclosures or automobiles.
NOTE: Do not operate Snowthrower out of snow for
extended periods of time.
