AUGER

When engaged, the augers rotate and pull snow into 
the auger housing.

DISCHARGE CHUTE

Snow drawn into the auger housing is discharged out 
the discharge chute.

CHUTE CLEAN-OUT TOOL

The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to 
the rear of the auger housing with a mounting clip. 
Should snow and ice become lodged in the discharge 
chute during operation, proceed as follows to safely 
clean the discharge chute and chute opening:

Release the auger clutch lever and shut off the engine.

Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which 
secures it to the rear of the auger housing.

Grasp the tool firmly by the handle and push and twist the 
tool into the discharge chute to dislodge the blockage.

Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on 
the rear of the auger housing.

Make sure the discharge chute is pointed in a safe 
direction (no vehicles, buildings, people, or other 
objects are in the direction of discharge). Restart 
the engine. While standing in the operator’s position 
(behind the snow blower), engage the auger control 
for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow and ice 
from the auger housing and the discharge chute.

CHOKE CONTROL 

The choke control is used to choke the carburetor 
and assist in starting the engine. The choke control 
switches between the CHOKE CLOSED 

 and 

CHOKE OPEn 

 positions.

PRIMER 

Press the primer to pump additional fuel from the 
carburetor to the cylinder for improved cold weather 
starting.

RECOIL STARTER HANDLE 

The handle is used to start the engine.

SAFETY IGNITION SWITCH 

Insert the safety ignition key for engine to start and 
run. To stop the engine, remove the key.

RUN/STOP SWITCH 

Used to stop the engine. Move switch to STOP 
position to stop engine. Place switch in RUn position 
for engine to start and run.

ELECTRIC STARTER & START BUTTON 

The electric starter will start a properly choked and 
primed engine when start button (120V AC) is pushed.

To start the machine, connect the electric starter to 
an electric power source with an approved extension 
cord and press the start button.

FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE

Always operate the snow blower with the fuel shut-off 
valve in the OPEn position. Close the valve when you do 
not use the machine.

Do not substitute. Use only original equipment shear 
pins as supplied with your snow blower.

Never use your hands to clear a clogged discharge 
chute . Shut off engine and remain behind handles 
until all moving parts have stopped before unclogging.

Never use choke to stop engine.

Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before 
using the machine. If the cord is damaged, do 
not operate the machine. Replace or repair the 
damaged cord immediately.

Connect extension cord to the electric starter 
plug-in first and then to a power outlet; disconnect 
the extension cord from the power outlet first and 
then from the machine.

To prevent damaging the electric starter, do not run 
it more than 5 continuous seconds each time you try 
to start. Wait 10 seconds between each attempt.
