Setting Up

Your Snow

Thrower

Drift Cutters (If Equipped)

Drift cutters should be used when operating the snow
thrower in heavy drift conditions.
• On models so equipped, drift cutters and hardware

are assembled to the auger housing inverted.

• Remove the carriage bolts and wingnuts securing the

drift cutters to the housing.

• Reposition drift cutters so they face forward as shown

in Figure 3-8. Secure with hardware previously
removed, wingnuts should be fastened on the

outside

of the housing as shown.

Clean-Out Tool

The clean-out tool is mounted to the rear of the auger
housing and is designed to clear a clogged chute. Refer
to page 9 for instructions on how to properly use it.

NOTE: This item is fastened with a cable tie to the rear
of the auger housing at the factory. Cut the cable tie
before operating the snow thrower.

WARNING: Never use your hands to
clean snow and ice from the chute
assembly or auger housing.

Lamp Wiring Harness (If equipped))

The post on the cable tie attaching the lamp wiring har-
ness to the lower handle should be plugged into the hole
in the lower handle. Pull the slack portion of the wiring
harness through the cable tie to prevent interference with
the recoil starter handle. See Figure 3-9.

Skid Shoes

Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions.
Adjust upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward
when operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces. See
“Making Adjustment” Section.

Shear Pin Storage (optional)

An area for convenient shear pin storage is located at the
rear of the plastic dash panel.
