TO Stop Engine
1.
Move throttle control to STOP to position if equipped
2.
Remove safety key.
3.
Move the ON/OFF switch to OFF position

It is recommended to run engine for a few minutes (with neither drive nor auger engaged) before
stopping to help dry off any moisture on the engine.
CLEARING SNOW
Start the engine once your snow thrower has been running outside for several minutes, it is
now ready for use. Make sure the path in front of your Snow Thrower is free from people,
animals, objects, and all other obstructions except for snow.
Adjust the chute outlet to the desired direction.
Turn the chute rotation handle clockwise or counter-clockwise until the desired position is
reached.
WARNING!
Never direct the chute outlet toward people or animals. While snow may seem
harmless, it can contain rocks or other debris that can cause serious injury when projected
through the chute.
1.
Engage/depress the auger control lever (handle) to start the augers and impeller turning.
2.
Set the desired direction and spee using the speed/gear control lever.
3.
Engage/depress the drive control lever (handle) and direct the snow thrower into
the snow to be cleared.
NOTICE: NEVER
change speed/gear positions while the drive control lever (handle) is
engaged.
Disengage the drive control handle BEFORE changing speeds or directions. If the snow is
deeper than the height of the auger, remove it in several steps taking narrower swaths.
Make several passes with the auger overlapping the cleared areas and reduce forward
speed.
For the best clearing efficiency, clear snow before it melts, refreezes and hardens.
Hard packed and wet snow can be very difficult to clear.
Clearing wet heavy snow can be a challenge, depending on ambient temperature, humidity
levels, and overall climate conditions including actual snow conditions, there may be no 100%
solution as snow may be too wet or compacted to move or throw. Wet snow will tend to clog
and stick more to the augers and chute. Keep the auger engaged as much as possible when
clearing wet snow to help prevent clogging.
WARNING! If snow is filled with foreign material, damage to the snow thrower may
result. Avoid snow with foreign materials.
