NOTE: Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for instruction on
starting, stopping and operating the engine.
Engaging the Auger
1. To engage the auger and start throwing snow, squeeze the
auger control against the handle. Release to stop the auger.
See Fig. 5-1.
Engaging the Drive
Lift up slightly on the handle to allow the rubber paddles on the
auger to contact the pavement and propel the snow thrower
forward. Pushing downward on the handle will raise the auger
off the ground and stop the forward motion.
NOTE: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will result
in premature wear on the rubber auger blades which will
not be covered by the warranty.
Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
WARNING!
Never use your hands to clear a
clogged chute assembly. Shut off engine and remain
behind handles until all moving parts have stopped
before using a clean-out tool to clear the chute
assembly.
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snow
throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1.
SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
Chute Assembly
The pitch of the chute assembly controls the angle at which the
snow is thrown.
1. Loosen the wing knob found on the left side of the chute
assembly and pivot the upper chute upward or downward
to the desired pitch. Retighten the wing knob before
operating the snow thrower.
2. Position the chute assembly opening by using the chute
handle to throw the snow in the desired direction. See Fig.
3-3.
