ward when the clutch is engaged. To reverse the
Sno-Away, disengage the clutch and pull up on
shift lever and transmission will shift into the re-
verse position. Neutral position of the shift lever is
half way between forward and reverse and thr
lever
will be held in this position by a detent lever on the
left side of the Sno-Away frame.
The skid shoes on each side of

rotor hous-
ing are adjustable either up or.down to suit
thr

face over which the Sno-Away is to be operated.
For smooth surface, loosen the nuts and
set

shoes so that the lower~edge of the rotor housing
rides near the surface. For use over an unewn or
rough surface
adjdst the shoes for maximum lift.
When using the Sno-Away, adjust the discharge
spout so that the snow will be thrown with th(
wind and never into the wind. Throwing snow into
the wind will be a source of discomfort to the op-
erator. To alter the direction of discharge,
rotate
the spout by means of the spout adjusting handle.
The distance that the snow may be thrown may be
adjusted by
loq,sening the two wing nuts on the dis-
charge spout extension and raising or lowering.

After completion of plowing operation,
allow the engine to operate in a sheltered
