Operating
Your Snow
Thrower
WARNING
The operation of
any snow thrower
can result in foreign
objects being thrown
into the eyes, which
can damage your
eyes severely. Always
wear safety glasses
while operating the
snow thrower, or while
performing any adjust-
ments or repairs on it.
Be sure no one other
than the operator is
standing near the snow
thrower while starting
engine or operating
snow thrower. Never
run engine indoors or
in enclosed, poorly
ventilated areas. En-
gine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly
gas. Keep hands, feet,
hair and loose clothing
away from any moving
parts on engine and
snow thrower.
Auger Control
The auger control is located on the left handle. Squeeze
the control grip against the handle to engage the augers
and start snow throwing action. Release to stop.
Drive Control/ Auger Control Lock
The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze
the control grip against the handle to engage the wheel
drive. Release to stop.
The drive control also locks the auger control so you can
operate the chute directional control without interrupting
the snow throwing process. If the auger control is en-
gaged simultaneously with the drive control, the operator
can release the auger control (on the left handle) and
the augers will remain engaged. Release both controls to
stop the augers and wheel drive.
IMPORTANT: Always release the drive control before
changing speeds.
Two-Way Chute Control™ (optional)
This two-way control lever is meant to control the
distance of snow discharge from the chute. Tilt the lever
forward or rearward to adjust the distance snow will be
thrown.
Chute Directional Control (optional)
The chute directional control can be turned clockwise or
counterclockwise to change the direction in which snow
is thrown.
Chute Clean-Out Tool
The clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of
the auger housing with a mounting clip.
1. Release both the auger control and the drive/auger
control lock.
2. Stop the engine by pushing the rocker switch to the
“OFF” position, pull out the safety key.
3. Remove the clean-out tool from the mounting clip.
4. Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to
remove any snow and ice in the chute assembly.
5. Re-fasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on
the rear of the auger housing and restart engine.
6. While standing in the operator’s position (behind the
snow thrower), engage the auger control for a few
seconds to clear any remaining snow or ice from the
chute assembly before continuing to clear snow.
WARNING: Never use your hands to
clean snow and ice from the chute
assembly or auger housing.
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.
Augers
When engaged, the augers rotate and draw snow into the
auger housing.
Headlight
The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.
