Tips for Operation
Snow is best removed as soon as possible
after snow fall.
To clear an area, run unit in an overlapping
series of paths. For large areas; start in the
middle and throw snow to each side, so snow
is not cleared more than once.
ALWAYS direct snow away from area to be
cleared and with direction of the wind.

TRANSPORT
ALWAYS shut off engine, remove key and
drain fuel when transporting unit on a truck or

onto trailer or truck.
