Clearing Snow:

• Push Forward: Gently push the snow blower forward into the snow. Do not force the unit; allow the auger to clear the snow at its own pace.
• Overlap Passes: For best results, overlap each clearing path slightly to ensure complete snow removal.
• Deep Snow: For very deep snow (over 12.5 inches), it may be necessary to make two passes. Clear the top layer first, then return to clear the remaining snow.

Adjusting Snow Discharge:

Common Issues:
