OPERATION
Before attempting to start the engine or to op-
erate the Sno-Away, refer to the engine manufac-
turer’s owner’s manual for the proper fuel, oil, and
procedure for starting the engine.
The
operation of the rotor is controlled by the
rotor clutch. To engage the rotor clutch, raise the
foot pedal shown in Figure 9.
To disengage the
clutch, depress the foot pedal.
Bear
in mind that
the rotor will operate independently~of the forward
travel of the Sno-Away, as long as the engine is run-
ning and the clutch is engaged. Exercise caution at
all times, and
never attempt to remove snow or ice
from the r&or housing or discharge spout unless
the engine is stopped and rotor clutch is disengaged.
To stop the engine,
mow
the throttle control lever
all the way to the shut-off position.
If the engine fails to shut-off after moving the
throttle control lever to the shut-off position, re-
position the “shorting-wire” to make contact with
the ignition shorting lever located on engine at end
of throttle cable.
The direction of travel of the Sno-Away is
controlled by the position of the transmission shift
lever. Refer to Figure 2. When shifting the trans-
mission, always release Touch-0-Matic control.
With the clutch disengaged, push down on the trans-
mission shift lever and
the
transmission will shift
