How to Use a Snow Blower
Removing snow with a shovel is not a task that many people look forward to doing. Snow blowers are becoming a necessity for people living in states that get a lot of snow. It is a great investment and it definitely makes the job of removing snow a lot easier.
- Start up the blower at the top of the driveway. Make sure there is nothing in the path of the blower, because it will be pulled in and destroyed by the auger. Give yourself plenty of operating space around the blower.
- Starting in the middle of the driveway, make a straight line down the center all the way to the end of the driveway with the blower. This clears a path for you to walk and continue to blow the snow away from your driveway.
- Turn the blower around and go up the driveway overlapping the path that you made going down. If you are going to the left of the first path, make sure that you are blowing the snow to the left. Do not blow the snow back into the center of the driveway where you just cleared your path.
- When you get back to the top of the driveway, continue to blow the snow in the same direction, heading back down until you've cleared the left side of your driveway.
- Clear out the right side in the manner, clearing small paths toward the right, while going up and down your driveway one path at a time.
- Turn off your snow blower when finished and store it properly for the next usage.
