THE

CONTROLS

AND

HOW

TO

USE

THEM

Visualize

yourself

standing

at

the

operators

position

by

looking

at

figure

1,

Before

starting

the

engine

let's

learn

how

you

can

use

these

controls

all

within

easy

reach

to

SIMPLIFY

your

snow

moving

problem.

You

are

safely

behind

the

handles

away

from

all

moving

parts

even

for

starting.

Your

Sno-Away

is

one

of

the

very

few

snow

throwers

with

this

convenience

and

safety.

(The

numbers

on

the

figure

correspond

to

the

paragraph

numbers

below].

1.

THE

ENGINE

SPEED

CONTROL

-

is

the

most

com

venient

way

to

control

throwing

distance

-

it

is

at

your

fin¬

ger

tips.

It

also

can

bo

used

to

control

speed

over

the

ground.

Push

it

forward

to

increase

throwing

distance

(up

to

3Q

J

)

and

ground

speed

up

to

1Y5

MPK.

Pull

it

all

of

the

way

back

to

stop

the

engine.

The

control

is

freeze

proof

so

it

always

works.

Set

it

at

the

lowest

speed

for

satisfactory

throwing

distance

-

there

will

be

much

less

powdery

snow

in

the

air.

2,

TRANSMISSION

CONTROL

LEVER

-

Select

either

high

or

low

speed

forward,

neutral,

or

reverse,

in

the

all

gear

transmission

of

your

Sno-Away.

The

shift

pattern

is

diown

by

the

decal

on

top

of

the

handle

panel.

The

shift

sector

at

the

rear

of

the

transmission

has

notches

to

keep

your

Sno-Away

transmission

in

the

position

you

have

se¬

lected.

To

shift

out

of

any

position

raise

the

handle

slightly

and

then

rotate

it

to

the

desired

position.

USE

HIGH

GEAR

(Down

and

to

the

right)

for

trails

porting

to

the

snow

removal

area.

Also

use

it

when

light

snow

is

up

to

4"

deep

and

heavy

snow

is

up

to

Z"

deep,

USE

LOW

GEAR

(Up

and

to

the

right)

for

light

deep

snow,

and

heavy

snow

over

2"

deep.

CAUTION:

The

Touch-O-Matic

trigger

must

be

released

while

shifting.

NOTE:

It

may

be

necessary

occasionally

to

squeeze

the

Touch-O-Matic

trigger

momentarily

and

release

it

before

the

shift

lover

will

travel

fully

into

gear.

THE

TOUC

H-Q-M

AT

IC

TRIGGERS

a

true

safety

feature.

If

you

should

slip

and

fall,

your

hand

comes

off

the

trigger

and

the

Sno-Away

stops

instantly

in

either

fort

ward

or

reverse.

Rest

your

left

hand

on

the

handle

and

squeeze

the

trigger

upward

gently

to

start

traireL

Squeezing

it

further

upward

increases

the

travel

speed.

This

control,

together

with

gear

selection,

should

be

used

to

adjust

travel

speed

so

engine

speed

control

can

be

used

to

control

throw¬

ing

distance.

The

Touch-O-Matic

trigger

should

also

be

used

for

inching

into

heavy

drifts

-

it

is

designed

to

withstand

slip¬

ping.

4.

THE

AUGER

CONTROL

LEVER

starts

and

stops

the

auger

rotation

independently

of

any

other

drive.

Your

Sno-Away

is

one

of

the

few

snow

throwers

which

lets

you

run

the

traction

drive

without

running

the

auger.

NOTE;

The

speed

control

lever

should

be

at

least

half

way

forward

before

engaging

the

auger

drive.

Pull

the

lever

all

of

the

way

up

to

run

the

auger.

Push

down

to

stop

the

auger.

NOTE:

Your

Sno-Away

should

always

be

operated

with

this

drive

either

fully

engaged

or

fully

disengaged,

(All

of

the

way

up

or

down].

5.

THE

DISCHARGE

SPOUT

is

an

exclus¬

ive

and

a

"T"

handle

rod-

You

can

break

loose

a

frozen

Sno-Away

spout

by

rotating

the

"T'

handle.

Rotate

the

handle

clockwise

(top

to

dis¬

charge

Throw

snow

down

from

you.

ALL

ADJUSTMENT

While

we

are

at

the

front

of

the

Sno-Away,

let's

check

the

skid

ment.

Your

Sno-Away

has

hardened

steel

adjustable

skid

shoes.

Their

large

supports

the

front

of

the

raise

the

front

of

the

Sno-Away

and-drop

the

shoes

so

and

tighten

the

securely.

Repeat

these

steps

for

the

Check

to

make

sure

that

with

the

Sno-Away

resting

on

the

skid

shoes

and

the

wheels,

that

the

skid

shoes

are

even

with

each

other.

The

SnoAway

will

now

be

supported

on

the

skid

shoes

so

the

scraper

bar

can

skim

is

ready

to

go.

You

are

familiar

with

the

controls,

their

function

and

how

to

set

them,

so

let's

survey

the

job

at

band,

ORGANIZING

THE

JOB

A

few

seconds

spent

in

organizing

the

job

will

cut

the

total

time

required

greatly.

Remove

door

mats

and

any

other

objects

from

the

area

to

be

cleared.

We

want

to

throw

the

snow

downwind

as

much

as

possible

so

start

your

first

pass

on

the

upwind

side

of

the

driveway

or

sidewalk.

TRANSPORTING

Transporting

the

Sno-Away

to

the

area

to

be

cleared.

Shift

the

transmission

central

lever

into

forward

(Hi

Gear),

push

the

throttle

forward,

grasp

the

handles,

and

squeeze

the

touch

o

matic

trigger

gently

to

guide

the

Sno-Away

to

the

work

area,

A

down

pressure

on

the

handles

will

raise

the

skid

shoes

and

make

the

Sno-Away

easier

to

guide.

Remember

the

lock

plate

should

be

in

the

driving

position

and

there

is

no

need

to

run

the

auger

while

transporting.

DETERMINING

THROWING

DISTANCE

The

snow

should

be

deposited

beyond

the

surface

you

want

to

clear

-

if

at

all

possible

-

so

start

with

the

deflector

all

of

the

way

up

and

adjust

the

engine

speed

so

that

the

thrown

snow

is

deposited

just

beyond

the

Tar

side

of

the

area

to

be

cleared.

If

the

snow

is

only

a

couple

of

inches

deep

it

may

be

necessary

to

go

over

the

ground

quite

rap¬

idly

to

feed

snow

into

the

auger.

In

this

situation,

the

de¬

flector

should

be

lowered

and

the

engine

speed

increased.

CAUTION:

Stop

the

engine

while

changing

the

deflector

adjustment.

THROWING

DIRECTION

The

chute

should

be

rotated

to

discharge

the

snow

downwind,

not

into

it.

Always

adjust

the

spout

and

extension

so

that

you

are

well

out

of

the

path

of

the

snow

stream.

CAUTION

Squeeze

the

slowly

and

guide

the

Sno-

Away

through

the

snow.

When

you

come

to

the

end

of

a

pass,

push

down

on

the

handles

and

turn

the

Sno-Away

a

round

to

make

the

next

pass,

alongside

of

the

cleared

area

-

allow

about

2"

of

over-lap

into

the

cleared

area.

Release

the

downward

pressure

on

the

handles,

rotate

the

chute

so

the

snow

stream

goes

downwind,

and

squeeze

the

touch-o-

matic

clutch

for

the

second

pass.

Repeat

these

steps

until

the

area

is

cleared.

HEAVY

DEEP

SNOW

With

very

dense

snow

or

snow

deeper

than

the

center

of

the

auger,

a

different

method

is

necessary.

(Always

use

low

gear.)

FIRST

PASS

Lower

the

deflector

about

half

way

and

run

the

en¬

gine

at

full

speed.

Push

down

on

the

handles

until

the

top

of

the

auger

housing

is

above

the

top

of

the

snow

whenever

possible.

Squeeze

the

Touch-O-Matic

trigger

gently,

and

"inch"

through

the

snow.

(Readjust

the

deflector

if

nec¬

essary

to

obtain

the

desired

throwing

distance.

Remember

to

stop

the

eugine

before

adjusting

the

deflector.)

At

the

end

of

the

pass,

turn

around

as

described

under

light

snow

except

go

back

over

the

same

path

with

the

no

down

pres¬

sure

on

the

handles.

SUBSEQUENT

PASSES

Use

the

same

procedure

as

light

snow,

but

substantially

in¬

crease

the

overlap

into

the

cleared

area.

Id

other

words,

take

a

narrower

shoe

of

snow

than

the

width

of

the

auger

housing.

Judge

how

wide

a

"bile”

to

take

by

watching

the

snow

stream

-

it

should

continue

to

flow

freely

from

the

chute

-

if

ft

doesn't

-

squeeze

the

trigger

less

or

take

a

nar¬

rower

slice

of

snow.

Any

time

snow

stops

flowing

freely

from

the

spout,

use

reverse

to

back

away

until

the

Sno-

Away

clears

itself

and

then

inch

into

the

snow.

You

will

soon

get

the

"feel"

of

how

fast

to

go

and

how

wide

a

slice

to

take.

minutes

to

melt

and

dry

up

the

snow

in

hidden

areas

of

the

to

prevent

icing,

CAUTION:

DO

NOT

RUN

ENGINE

IN

AN

ENCLOSED

AREA.

Allow

the
