Snow throwers will allow you to cozy up
inside your house
When it snows, it is the worst time for men
folk of the house. (I know, I know, it is not
politically correct to say this, but give that
guy some credit) while the government and
municipal corporations try to keep the
highways and streets clear of snow. The snow
removal from the front of the house to the
gate is the family responsibility. To ease
this work we have snow throwers that can do
your job in a jiffy, allowing you to go back
into the house quickly.
Single Stage Snow Throwers Are Gas Engine
Operated
A snow thrower can be single stage or two
stages. A single stage snow thrower has an
auger made out of combination of metal and
plastic or hard rubber. The Engine drives an
auger through a series of gears. This auger
cuts through the thick coat of ice by
chipping, collects it, and then directs it out
of the machine with some force. This way the
ice on the ground is cleared from the
driveway. In a single stage thrower, the
machine is self-propelling as it rides on
snow. Single stage machine clear a width of
12? to 22? and multiple passes are required to
clear the snow in the driveway.
A Two-stage Machine Is More Powerful
A two-stage machine has a pump in addition
to the auger in a single stage machine. The
ice churned by auger is sent to pump.
Additional force imparted to snow by the pump
makes it possible for the machine to throw the
cleared snow to greater distance. Distance can
be up to 45? in some cases. Children enjoy
this and with a double throw machine, laughter
of children comes free. (Keep your children
out of the landing place of snow) This makes
the work of clearing snow easy and enjoyable.
Double stage machines clear the width of 2? to
3? in one pass and this reduces time required
for clearing
Tricks For Removing Snow Easily.
The snow can be cleared easily by
sprinkling salt over the snow. (Check with
authorities though, before sprinkling salt on
snow to check if it is permitted).
When you go out in the snow for clearing
it, use layered clothing instead of a single
layer of thick clothing.
Take precaution, and do not to slip on the
hard snow. There is a possibility of landing
on the head. Use spiked shoes if possible.
