Get rid of the snow piling up with ease by knowing exactly how to operate your Cub Cadet snow thrower. Whether you have a 1X single-stage, 2X two-stage, or 3X three-stage snow thrower, your snow thrower will run its best if you follow these operation tips:
1. Perform any snow thrower maintenance necessary before the winter season begins.
2. Before you want to use your snow thrower for the first time, let your snow thrower to run and warm up in a well-ventilated space.
3. You want to be warm while snowblowing, but make sure you don't have any loose clothing hanging off that might get caught in the workings of the snow thrower, like scarves, loose pants, or shoelaces.
4. While the snow thrower is on, don't put your feet or hands near any moving parts, the chute assembly, or the auger/impeller housing. Safety should always be first when you're operating your snow thrower, and if you get too close to any rotating parts, amputation is possible. If your snow thrower chute gets clogged during use, make sure you turn off the machine and wait until all moving parts have come to a full stop before cleaning out the clogged chute.
5. Even though you might be a pro-snow thrower, you should not try to bypass the auger/impeller control lever. The control lever is a safety mechanism and trying to bypass it causes the machine to become unsafe, and may cause injury to the operator.
6. Before starting to snow throw, check to see that your control levers easily operate in both directions, and when released that they automatically return to the disengaged position.
7. If your chute assembly is damaged in any way or entirely missing, do not operate your snow thrower.
8. Never run your snow thrower in a poorly ventilated area.
9. If you need to cross over a gravel or stone surface, use extra caution to be sure your snow thrower doesn't pick up and toss any remnants from the road.
