OPERATION
Snow thrower controls and features are described below and illustrated in Figure
16.
Speed selector Lever
The speed selector lever is located in the right side of the handle
panel and is used to determine ground speed and direction of
travel.
Forward
There are six forward (F) speeds. Position one (1) is the slowest and
position six (6) is the fastest.
Reverse
There are two reverse (R) speeds. One (R1) is the slower and two
(R2) is the faster.
Choke Control
The choke control is found on the rear of the engine and
is activated by rotating the control counter-clockwise.
Activating the choke control closes the choke plate on the
carburetor and aids in starting the engine.
Key
The key is a safety device. It must be fully inserted into the
ignition in order for the engine to start. Remove the key
when the snow thrower is not in use.
IMPORTANT:
Do not turn the key in an attempt to start the
engine. Doing so may cause it to break.
