OPERATION
Throttle Control
The throttle control regulates the speed of the engine and will shut off
the engine when moved into the STOP position.
Auger Control
The auger control is located on the left handle. Squeeze the control
grip against the handle to engage the augers and start snow throwing
action. Release to stop.
Drive Control/ Auger Control Lock
The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the control
grip against the handle to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop.
The drive control also locks the auger control so you can operate
the chute directional control 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 both controls to stop the
augers and wheel drive.
IMPORTANT: Always release the drive control before changing
speeds.
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:
Chute Assembly
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by changing the angle of
the chute assembly. See “Making Adjustment” Section.
Chute Clean-Out Tool
The clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of the auger
housing with a mounting clip.
1. Release both the auger control and the drive/auger control lock.
2. Move throttle control to STOP position and remove the ignition key.
3. Remove the clean-out tool from the mounting clip.
4. Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to remove any
snow and ice in the chute assembly.
5. Re-fasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of the
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
snow.
WARNING: Never use your hands to clean snow and
ice from the chute assembly or auger housing.
Skid Shoes
Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust upward
for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when operating on gravel or
crushed rock surfaces. See “Making Adjustment” Section.
Augers
When engaged, the augers rotate and draw snow into the auger
housing.
