Starting the Snow Blower

Operating the Snow Blower

• Clearing Snow: Push the snow blower forward at a steady pace. Do not force the machine into heavy snow. Take smaller passes if necessary.
• Directional Chute Control: Use the chute control lever on the handle to adjust the direction of snow discharge. This allows you to direct snow away from cleared areas or obstacles.
• LED Light: The integrated LED light activates automatically when the snow blower is running, providing improved visibility during low-light conditions.
• Overload Protection: If the snow blower bogs down or stops due to excessive load, release the bail switch, clear any obstructions, and wait a few moments before restarting.
