Features & Controls
Chute Deflector Control
Controls the distance snow is thrown. Tilting the Chute
Deflector UP provides a higher stream and greater dis-
tance, while tilting the deflector DOWN provides a lower
stream and less distance. Loosen the deflector knob,
adjust the deflector, then retighten the knob.
Chute Direction Control
The Chute Direction Control allows the discharge chute
to be rotated to throw snow in the desired direction.
Snow may be thrown at any angle from straight left to
straight forward, to straight right.
Auger Control
This control engages and disengages the auger. Pull the
control back against handle to engage the auger, (this
will pull snowthrower forward if auger is in contact with
the ground). Release the Auger Control to stop rotation
of auger.
Primer Button
When pressed, the primer button provides initial fuel to
help start a cold engine. Normally, pressing the primer
button twice will provide enough fuel to start a cold
engine.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch starts and stops the engine, and can
be removed to prevent engine starting. It has two posi-
tions:
OFF
Stops the engine and shuts off the
electrical system.

electrical system.

ton activates the electric starter. The Electric Start
Button operates on 120 Volts AC, which is provided by
connection to the extension cord provided with units
equipped with this feature. Connect this extension cord
ONLY to a properly grounded, polarized electrical outlet.

mixture. Once the engine is warm and running smoothly,
the Choke control should be set to the OFF position to
provide a normal air/fuel mix.
