Before starting the engine let’s learn how you can use these controls ail 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 convenient way to control throwing distance - it is at your finger tips. It also can be used to control speed over the ground. Push it forward to increase throwing distance (up to 30’) and ground speed up to 1.75 MPH. 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-A way. The shift pattern is shown 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 selected. 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 transporting to the snow removal area. Also use it when light snow is up to 4” deep and heavy snow is up to 2” deep. USE LOW GEAR (Up and to the right) for light deep show, 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 lever will travel fully into gear. 3. THE TOUCH-O-MATIC 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 forward or reverse. Rest your left hand on the handle and squeeze the trigger upward gently to start travel. 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 throwing distance. The Touch-O-Matic trigger should also be used for inching into heavy drifts - it is designed to withstand slipping. 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 CONTROL is an exclusive design using aircraft cable 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 the right) to discharge snow to the right. Throw snow down wind wherever possible to keep airborne snow away from you. ALL OF THE CONTROLS WE HAVE JUST DISCUSSED ARE FOR USE WHILE YOUR SNO-AWAY IS IN OPERATION. There are two other controls for added convenience which must BE ADJUSTED ONLY WITH THE MACHINE STOPPED. Let’s go to the front of the Sno-Away by looking at Figures 6 and 7. 6. THE CHUTE DEFLECTOR POSITION can be adjusted by loosening the wing nuts and moving the deflector up Figure 6. 5 or down. Be sure to tighten both wing nuts after positioning the deflector. See Figure 6. This deflector position supplements the engine speed control to control throwing distance. The highest position provides the greatest throwing distance. Most snow moving can be done with the deflector all of the way up by using the engine speed lever to control the throwing distance. Hold the rear of the deflector down while tightening the wing nuts to make sure that all of the snow goes out of the chute. 7. SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT While we are at the front of the Sno-Away, let’s check the skid shoe adjustment. Your Sno-Away has hardened steel adjustable skid shoes. Their large area supports the front of the Sno-Away above even a gravel surface. \ GRAVEL SURFACE USE ADJUSTMENT If you will be clearing a gravel surface loosen the nuts, see figure 7, raise the front of the Sno-Away and‘drop the skid shoes all of the way down. Set the bottom surface of the skid shoes so thay are level or slightly (maximum of 1/8”) higher in the front and tighten the nuts securely. Repeat these steps for the skid shoe on the other side. 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 Sno-Away will now be supported on the skid shoes so the scraper bar can skim the snow from the surface and leave the stones on your driveway instead of throwing them on y...
