Getting Started Inspect the area first Remove rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, string, and other objects that could be picked up and thrown by the snow thrower. Check the auger before use Before plugging in the unit, verify that the auger and rubber plates are firmly secured and that the rotor turns freely.
