Be Smart About Snow

Sunday, March 1, 2015

(NAPSA)—Heeding a few hints can help you give snow the cold shoulder without risking your health andsafety. *Don’t shovel after eating or while smoking. *Pace yourself. Stretch out and warm upbefore starting. Push the snow as you shovel. *Don’t pick up too much at once. *Lift with your legs bent and your back straight. Dress warmly. Consider a snowblower. NN Because you can concentrate on clearing the snow instead of running the machine, a new kind of snowblower transmission means snow removal takes less time and less effort—and is more fun. Now, these can be easier to use and more efficient than ever. That’s because some self-propelled, consumer-grade snowblowers are now available with continuously variable transmissions (CVT). This belt-and-pulley system—long popular in cars, snowmobiles, personal watercraft, ATVs, motorcycles and lawn tractors—is gearless, so it operates seamlessly at any speed. You don’t have to shift with one hand while steering with the other. In addition, a snowblower with an Element V PowerPath CVT from General Transmissions can change speed and directions on the go, has a sealed transmission case so snow and ice can’t get in, and performsin all weather conditions, even extreme cold and high humidity. It’s essentially maintenance free, with nofluidsorfilters to change or moving parts to wear out, and you don’t need to wait for the engine to warm up. You can even get one with power steering.
