TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS OR FEET TO UNCLOG THE
DISCHARGE CHUTE! NEVER ATTEMPT TO UNCLOG THE CHUTE WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
IF THE CHUTE CLOGS, DISENGAGE THE PTO DRIVE, WAIT FOR THE AUGER TO COMPLETELY
STOP, APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, AND REMOVE THE SPARK PLUG
WIRE(S) BEFORE UNCLOGGING THE CHUTE. FOR SAFETY, USE A SHORT STICK OR PLASTIC TOOL
DESIGNED TO CLEAR SNOW FROM THE CHUTE.
•
ONLY OPERATE THE SNOW THROWER FROM THE OPERATOR ZONE ( FIGURE 10 ON PAGE 14).
•
NEVER USE THE DR SNOW THROWER ATTACHMENT AS A SNOWPLOW. DO NOT PUSH THE SNOW;
LET THE SNOW THROWER WORK ITS WAY THROUGH THE SNOW.
•
IF THE GROUND SPEED OF THE POWER UNIT IS TOO FAST, ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE THE WHEEL
CLUTCH LEVER TO REDUCE THE SPEED AND PREVENT THE DISCHARGE CHUTE FROM BECOMING
OVERLOADED, AND CLOGGED.
•
FOR BEST RESULTS, RAISE THE SNOW THROWER BY PUSHING DOWN ON THE HANDLEBARS AND
REMOVE A TOP LAYER OF SNOW FIRST, OR TAKE A HALF-WIDTH PASS. A SECOND OR THIRD PASS
WILL REMOVE THE REMAINING SNOW MUCH EASIER.
Tip: To increase traction and stability, use DR Tire Chains. Call 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637) to order.
