OPERATION

TO THROW SNOW (See Fig. 14)

The auger rotation is controlled by the auger control lever 
located on the right side handle.

•      Squeeze auger control lever to handle to engage the 

auger and throw snow.

•      Release the auger control lever to stop throwing snow.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 16)

SELF-PROPELLING, forward and reverse movement of 
the snow thrower, is controlled by the traction drive control 
lever located on the left side handle.

•         Squeeze traction drive control lever to handle to en gage 

the drive system.

•      Release traction drive control lever to stop the forward 

or reverse movement of the snow thrower.

SPEED and DIRECTION are controlled by the drive speed 
control lever.

•      Press downward on the speed control lever and move 

lever to de sired po si tion BE FORE engaging the trac-
 tion drive control lever. Be sure lever springs back and 
locks into desired position.

CAUTION: Do not move speed con trol le ver 
when traction drive control lever is en gaged. 
Damage to the snow thrower can result.

•      Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds 

are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It 
is recommended that you use a slower speed until you 
are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.

NOTE:

 When both traction drive and auger control levers 

are engaged, the traction drive control lever will lock the 
auger control lever in the engaged position. This will allow 
you to release your right hand from the handle and adjust 
the discharge chute direction without interrupting the snow 
throwing process.

USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 15)

In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may be-
come clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool to 
dislodge this blockage.

When cleaning, repairing, or in spect ing, make 
certain all controls are disengaged and the 
auger/impeller and all moving parts have 
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and 
keep the wire away from the spark plug to pre-
vent accidental starting.

•      Release the auger control lever and shut off the engine.

•         Remove the clean-out tool from it's mounting clip.  Grasp 

the tool fi rmly by the handle and push and twist the tool 
into the discharge chute to dislodge the blockage. 

After the packed snow has been dislodged, return the clean-
out tool to it's mounting clip by pushing it into the clip.

•         Make sure the discharge chute is pointed in a safe direc-

tion (no vehicles, buildings, people, or other objects are 
in the direction of discharge) before restarting the engine.

•     Restart the engine, then squeeze the auger control 

lever to the handle to clear snow from the auger hous-
ing and the discharge chute.
