AUGER AND DRIVE CONTROLS
1.
To engage the auger, press down on the auger control handle (left side handle).
2.
To engage the drive, press down on the drive control handle (right side handle). The machine should
start moving in the direction and speed that the speed control lever is set to.
3.
When finished clearing a snow path, release the auger control handle and the drive control handle.
Attention:
Release (disengage) the auger and drive control handles before adjusting the drive speed
control lever. Never change the drive speed while your snow thrower is moving, it could damage the
drive mechanism and void the warranty.
DRIVE SPEED CONTROL LEVER
Move the drive speed control lever to the desired speed.
There are six (8) settings: four (6) forward
speeds and two (2) reverse speeds. 1 is the slowest forward
speed and 6 is the fastest forward speed. R1 is the slowest
reverse speed and R2 is the fastest reverse speed.
Note: There is no neutral drive setting since the drive
control handle must be engaged for movement. Neutral is
achieved when the drive control handle is disengaged.
CHUTE DISCHARGE DIRECTION ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
- Never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator, bystanders, vehicles or
nearby windows. Discharged snow and foreign objects accidentally picked up by the Snow
Thrower can cause serious damage and severe bodily injury. Always point the discharge
chute in the opposite direction from potential hazards. The discharge chute can be adjusted 180º by
rotating the chute rotation handle. Rotate the chute rotation handle clockwise to move the discharge chute
to the left; counterclockwise to move the chute to the right.
CHUTE DISCHARGE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
WARNING!
Always disengage the drive and auger control handles before making
adjustments. Make sure the augers are stopped and the machine is not moving. The angle of
the chute deflector controls the discharge distance of the snow. Raising the angle will increase
the distance. Lowering the angle will decrease the distance.
