TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 15)
SELF-PROPELLING, forward and reverse movement of
the snow thrower, is controlled by the traction drive control
lever located on the left side handle.

tion drive control lever. Be sure lever springs back and
locks into desired position.
CAUTION: Do not move speed con trol le ver
when traction drive control lever is en gaged.
Damage to the snow thrower can result.
• Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds
are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It
is recommended that you use a slower speed until you
are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.
OPERATION
TO THROW SNOW (See Fig. 13)
The auger rotation is controlled by the auger control lever
located on the right side handle.
• Squeeze auger control lever to handle to engage the
auger and throw snow.
• Release the auger control lever to stop throwing snow.
USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 14)
In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may be-
come clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool
to dislodge this blockage.
When cleaning, repairing, or in spect ing, make
certain all controls are disengaged and the au-
ger/impeller and all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the
wire away from the spark plug to prevent ac-
cidental starting.
• Release the auger control lever and shut off the engine.
• Remove the clean-out tool from it's mounting clip. Grasp
the tool firmly by the handle and push and twist the tool
into the discharge chute to dislodge the blockage.
After the packed snow has been dislodged, return the clean-
out tool to it's mounting clip by pushing it into the clip.
•
Make sure the discharge chute is pointed in a safe direc-
tion (no vehicles, buildings, people, or other objects are
in the direction of discharge) before restarting engine.

TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 16)
NOTE:
The wrench provided in your parts bag may be
used to adjust the skid plates.
Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing
and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the
ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height
for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in
normal con di tions, such as a paved driveway or side walk,
place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper
clear ance) to give a 1/8" clearance between the scraper
bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface
to be cleared is uneven.
NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower
over gravel or rocky surfaces. Objects such as gravel, rocks
or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the
impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property
dam age or damage to the snow thrower.
•
If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface,
use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted
to lowest (highest scraper clear ance) position.
