OPERATION
Auger Control
The auger control is located on the left handle. Squeeze the auger
control to engage the augers. Release to stop the snow throwing
action. The drive control must also be released in order to stop auger
Drive Control / Auger Control Lock
The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the drive
control to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop.
This same lever also locks the auger control so you can operate the
chute crank without interrupting the snow throwing process. If the
auger control is engaged simultaneously with the drive control, the
operator can release the auger control (on the left handle) and the
augers will remain engaged. Release the drive control to stop the
augers and wheel drive (the auger control must also be released).
IMPORTANT: NEVER reposition the shift lever (change speeds or
direction of travel) without first releasing the drive control and bringing
the snow thrower to a complete stop. Doing so will result in premature
wear to the snow thrower’s drive system.
Two-Way Chute Control™)
This two-way control lever is meant to control the distance of snow
discharge from the chute. Tilt the lever forward or rearward to adjust
the distance snow will be thrown.
Chute Directional Control
The chute directional control is located on left side of the snow thrower.
To change the direction in which snow is thrown, turn chute directional
control as follows:
• Crank clockwise to discharge to the left.
• Crank counterclockwise to discharge to the right.
Wheel Steering Controls
The left and right wheel steering controls are located
on the underside of the handles. Squeeze the right
control to turn right; squeeze the left control to turn
left.
NOTE: Operate the snow thrower in open areas until you are familiar
with these controls.
Chute Clean-Out Tool

auger housing and restart engine.
6. While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower),
engage the auger control for a few seconds to clear any remaining
snow or ice from the chute assembly before continuing to clear
