Snow thrower controls and features are described below and
illustrated in Fig. 4-1.
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
knob into the choke position. 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 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.
