Clutch Bail
A
CAUTION:
Stop

remove
wire from spark plug after striking a
foreign object. Thoroughly inspect sno-
thro for any damage and repair damage
before restarting and operating unit.
Snow is best removed as soon as possible after a
snow fall. Squeezing Clutch Bail against handlebar
engages auger and impeller so machine will move
forward and throw snow. Releasing Bail disengages
auger and impeller and brake stops rotation.
IMPORTANT:
Check impeller to be sure it is not
frozen. If belt squeals when Clutch Bail is engaged,
impeller is frozen, release Clutch Bail and move unit
to a heated area to thaw.
A
CAUTION: Check clutch disengagement
before each use. If auger/impeller does
not stop quickly, when clutch bail is
released,
adjust
or
repair
per
Adjustment
Section
of
this
manual
before operating unit.
During snow removal, auger propels unit forward
while collecting snow. The forward speed will vary
according to snow depth and moisture content, and
scraper blade adjustment.
Efficient unit operation depends on proper scraper
blade adjustment. Refer to Scraper Blade in
Adjustment Section.
NOTE:
When transporting, unit should be shut off.
To transport unit to or from an area to be cleared,
press down on handlebar enough to raise front of
Sno-Thro slightly off surface and push or pull unit.
To clear an area, run Sno-Thro in an overlapping
series of paths. For large areas start in middle and
throw snow to each side so you do not have to move
it more than once.
