How to Turn a Snow Thrower

You may need to turn your snow blower on a curved driveway.

A snow throwers is a specialized piece of equipment that can make clearing snow away from your driveway a straightforward process. The snow thrower picks up the snow up like almost like a vacuum cleaner and throws it to the side of the driveway and walkways. If your driveway is not straight or has an odd shape, you will need to turn your snow thrower to the right or the left to reach all parts that need cleaning.

Instructions

1. Start the engine, stand behind the snow thrower and grasp the handlebar. Place the snow thrower on your driveway or walkway and start walking while pushing the machine in front of you, if it does not have a drive gear.

2. Walk slowly and wait for the thrower to clear away all snow from your driveway. If you want to quicken the process, pull the handle bar throttle lever to add speed to the machine.

3. Push down on the handlebar when you reach a curve, and if you want to turn left, push the snow thrower slightly to the left and continue walking behind the machine. Repeat the same step to the right if you want to turn right.

4. Put the machine in neutral and stop before you turn the engine off.

Tips & Warnings
