beginning.

• Wind direction is an important factor to consider.

Rotate the spout to discharge snow downwind.

• Plan the pattern so that you avoid throwing snow

on cleared areas and on yourself as you are

operating.

• When land contour permits, it is best to travel in the

longest direction to minimize turning.

• In very deep or heavy snow, it may be necessary

to make the first pass with snowthrower partially

raised, backing up every few feet and lowering the

snowthrower to clear the snow left on the surface.

Also, it may be necessary to slice off less than the

full width of the auger or reduce ground speed.

• If snow stops flowing freely from the spout, back

away until the snowthrower clears itself.

Daily Storage

1. Run the snowthrower a few minutes after blowing

snow to prevent freeze-up of auger.

2. Allow tractor engine to cool before storing in any

enclosure.

desplazarse en la dirección más larga para minimizar

los giros.

• En nieve muy profunda o pesada, puede ser

necesario hacer la primera pasada con la lanzadora

de nieve parcialmente elevada, dando marcha atrás

cada pocos pies y bajando la lanzadora de nieve para

eliminar la nieve que ha quedado en la superficie.

Asimismo, puede ser necesario rebanar menos que el

ancho completo de la barrena o reducir la velocidad

de desplazamiento.

• Si la nieve deja de fluir libremente del pico, dé

marcha atrás hasta que la lanzadora de nieve se haya

despejado.
