OPERATION
To Engage Drive
WARNING: The operation of any snow thrower can
result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear
safety glasses while operating the snow thrower, or
while performing any adjustments or repairs on it.
1. With the engine running near top speed, move shift lever to one
of six FORWARD positions or two REVERSE positions. Select a
speed appropriate for the snow conditions that exist.
2. Squeeze drive control against the right handle and the snow
thrower will move. Release it and the drive motion will stop.
To Engage Augers
1. To engage augers and start snow throwing, squeeze the left hand
auger control against the left handle. Release to stop augers.
2. While the auger control is engaged, squeeze the drive control
to move, release to stop. Do not shift speeds while the drive is
engaged.
NOTE: This same lever also locks auger control so you can turn the
chute control without interrupting the snow throwing process.
3. Release the auger control; the interlock mechanism should keep
the auger control engaged until the drive control is released.
4. Release the drive control to stop both the augers and the wheel
drive. To stop the auger, both levers must be released.
Operating Tips
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. The engine will
not develop full power until it reaches operating temperature.
WARNING: The temperature of the muffler and the
surrounding areas may exceed 150° F (65° C). Avoid
these areas.
1. If possible, remove snow immediately after it falls.
2. Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
3. Slightly overlap each previous path.
4. Set the skid shoes 1/4” below the shave plate for normal usage.
Adjust them upward for hard-packed snow and downward when
using on gravel or crushed rock.
general Recommendations
1. Always observe safety rules when performing
any maintenance.
2. The warranty on this snow thrower does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full
value from warranty, operator must maintain the snow thrower as
instructed here.
3. Some adjustments will have to be made periodically to maintain
your unit properly.

Augers
WARNING: Always turn off the snowthrower’s
engine and remove the key prior to replacing shear
pins.
• The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with shear pins and
cotter pins. If the auger should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the
snow thrower is designed so that the pins may shear. See Figure
13.
• If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have sheared.
One set of replacement shear pins has been provided with the
snow thrower. When replacing pins, spray an oil lubricant into shaft
before inserting new pins.
