LUBRICATION

The

23"

Sno-Away

is

equipped

with

4

grease

fittings

that

require

occasional

lubrication

with

a

general

purpose

automotive

grease-

The

location

of

these

fittings

is

shown

in

Figures

1,

5,

£

'

Sno-Away

has

an

additional

fitting

on

the

2-speed

axle

cover.

Refer

to

page

for

oil

draining

procedure!

The

bearings

on

the

rotor

shaft

are

a

sealed

type

and

do

not

require

further

lubrication-

An

occasional

application

of

light

motor

oil

to

the

ends

of

the

rotor

shaft

will

aid

in

prolonging

the

life

of

the

bearing

seals-

OPERATION

Before

the

Sno-Away,

refer

to

the

engine

manufacturers

as

long

as

the

engine

is

running

and

the

clutch

is

engaged.

Exercise

caution

at

all

times,

and

never

attempt

The

roller

wheels

on

each

side

of

the

rater

housing?

are

adjustable

either

.'up

or

dawn

to

suit

the

surface

over

which

the

Sno-Away

is

to

be

operated-

For

smooth

surface,

loos¬

en

the

nuts

and

sot

the

shoes

so

that

the

lower

edge

of

the

rotor

housing

rides

near

the

surface.

For

use

over

an

uneven

or

rough

surface

adjust

the

shoes

for

maximum

lift.

When

using

the

Soo-Away,

adjust

the

discharge

spout

bo

that

the

snow

will

be

thrown

with

the

wind

and

never

into

the

wind.

Throwing

snow

Into

the

wind

will

be

a

source

of

discomfort

to

the

operator-

To

alter

the

direction

of

discharge,

rotate

the

spout

by

means

of

the

spout

adjusting

handle.

The

distance

that

the

enow

may

be

thrown

maybe

actuated

by

loosening

the

two

wing

nuts

on

the

discharge

spout

extension

and

raising

or

lowering

the

extension

to

give

the

desired

angle-

After

adjusting,

push

the

extension

snugly

against

the

spout

assembly

to

prevent

snow

from

being

blown

backwards

against

the

engine

and

Operator-

Slotted

holes

beneath

the

wjtig

nuts

will

allow

this

to

be

done

before

tightening

the

wing

nuts

to

hold

the

extension

in

the

desired

position.

When

operating

the

Sno-Away

through

heavy

drifts

of

anow

T

depress

the

handles

and

raieethe

rotor

housing

while

taking

the

first

pass

through

the

drift.

Then

back

off

and

lower

the

rotor

housing

and

go

through

again.

After

the

first

path

through

the

drift

has

been

opened,

it

maybe

convenient

to

ufie

only

a

portion

of

the

width

of

the

plow

on

successive

passes.

Naturally,

efficient

plowing

methods

will

vary

from

one

snowfall

to

another

and

from

location

to

location.

The

operator

will

soon

learn

to

judge

which

me¬

thods

produce

the

beet

results-

When

transporting

the

plow

from

one

location

to

another,

disengage

the

rotor

clutch

for

safety.

IKPOATAMT

After

completion

of

plowing

operation,

allow

the

engine

to

operate

In

a

sheltered

area

for

about

5

minutes

to

dry

Itself

and

prevent

the

formation

of

toe-

When

possible,

store

the

Sho-Away

In

a

cold

are

a

so

that

clinging

snow

will

not

melt

and

re-freeze

into

ice.
