Operation
Before Operating the Snowthrower
WARNING
Read the operator's manual before operating the machine. This machine can be
dangerous if used carelessly.
• Never operate the snowthrower without all guards, covers, and shields in place.
• Stop the engine whenever leaving the operating position.
• Remove the key before unclogging the impeller housing or discharge chute, and
before making repairs or adjustments.
• When leaving the machine, remove the key.
• To reduce the risk of fire, keep the machine clean and free from spilled fuel, oil,
and debris.
• On electric start models, disconnect the extension cord before operating.
• Be sure to check the engine oil level before starting the engine. See the engine
operator's manual for oil recommendations.
Operating the Snowthrower
DANGER
Amputation hazard
The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to throw snow. Fingers can
quickly become caught in the impeller. Never clear or unclog the discharge chute
with your hands. Always use a clean-out tool.
Failure to observe these safety instructions will result in traumatic amputation
or severe laceration.
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common
cause of injury associated with snowthrowers. Never use your hands to clean out the
discharge chute.
To safely clear a clogged discharge chute, follow these instructions:
1. Shut OFF the engine.
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
DANGER
Toxic fume hazard
Engines give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause nausea, fainting, or death.
• Start and run the engine outdoors.
• Do not start or run the engine in an enclosed area, even if doors and windows are
open.
WARNING
Thrown objects hazard
This machine is capable of throwing objects that could injure bystanders, or cause damage
to buildings.
Be sure the operating area is clear of bystanders. Never direct the discharge toward
anyone, or toward buildings or cars.
1. Start the engine. Please refer to the engine operator's manual for engine information.
2. Rotate the chute rotation crank (C or D, Figure 3) or use the chute rotation switch (E)
to set the direction of the discharge chute.
3. Models with manual defector adjustment: Loosen the wingnut securing the chute
deflector (I). Raise the deflector to throw snow further. Set the defector to the desired
position and tighten the wingnut.
Models with in-dash deflector control lever: Use the deflector control lever (H) to
move the deflector up or down. Raise the deflector to throw snow further.
Models with electric deflector control: Use the deflector control switch (J) to move
the deflector up or down. Raise the deflector to throw snow further.
4. Use the speed select lever (B) to select the forward or reverse drive speed. Use lower
speeds when clearing wet, heavy snow. Use higher speeds for light snow or
transporting.
NOTE: Always set engine speed to FAST (full throttle).
5. Fully press the auger control lever (A) to engage the auger. Release the lever to stop
the auger.
6. Fully press and hold the traction control lever / Free Hand control (F/G) to engage the
traction drive and begin moving the snowthrower. To stop, release the lever.
NOTE: Always release the traction control lever before changing speeds.
7. When both the auger (A) and traction control levers (F) are pressed, the Free Hand
control is activated. This allows you to release the auger control lever (A) to use other
controls. The auger will continue to rotate until the traction control lever/Free Hand
control lever is released.
8. If desired, if equipped, use the grip warmer switch (L) to turn on the heated hand grips.
Stopping the Snowthrower
1. Release the auger control lever (A, Figure 1).
2. Release the traction control lever (F).
3. Stop the engine. Please refer to the engine operator's manual for engine instructions.
Easy Turn™ Traction Control (if equipped)
For easy turning when using the snowthrower, squeeze the Easy Turn traction control lever
(Figure 4).
NOTE: The Easy Turn will be more difficult to activate under a heavy load. Activate the level
before beginning a turn.
Engaging the Easy Turn traction control lever releases one of the traction wheels, but allows
the other wheel to continue driving. Releasing the Easy Turn traction control lever
automatically engages both drive wheels for full traction (Figure 5).
Wheel Release - Lock Knob (if equipped)
Some models are equipped with a drive wheel release that allows you to disengage one of
the drive wheels, for easier transporting of the unit with the engine off.
