Four- Way Chute Control™ 

This four-way control lever is meant to control the 
direction and distance of snow discharge from the 
chute. Press the button on the knob and turn it left or 
right to rotate the chute to the 

direction

 that snow will be 

thrown. Tilt the lever forward to decrease the 

distance

 

snow will be thrown, and backwards to increase 
distance.

Shift Lever 

The shift lever is located in the center 
of the handle panel and is used to 
determine ground speed and direction 
of travel. It can be moved into any of 
eight positions. 

IMPORTANT: 

 Always release drive 

control before changing speeds. 

Forward:

 Your snow thrower has six 

forward (F) speeds, with position 
number one (1) being the slowest 
speed.

Reverse:

 Your snow thrower has two 

reverse (R) speeds, with position 
number one (1) being the slower speed.

Headlight

The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.

Clean-Out Tool

The clean-out tool is designed to clear a clogged chute. 
Refer to page

 

11

 

for instructions on how to properly use 

it.

Wheel Steering Control

The left and right wheel steering 
controls are located on the underside 
of the handles. Squeeze the right 
control to turn right; squeeze the left control to turn left. 

Skid Shoe

The skid shoe position is determined by the condition of 
the ground from where snow has to be removed. Higher 
the snow level, lower will be the skid shoe level. Adjust 
it accordingly. Refer to 

Skid Shoe Adjustment 

on page 7.

Before Starting Engine

Oil

The engine was shipped with oil in the engine. Check 
oil level before each operation to ensure adequate oil in 
the engine. Refer to instructions on page 13.

Gas

1.

Store gasoline in a clean, approved container and 
keep the cap in place on the container.

2.

Make sure that the container from which you pour 
the gasoline is clean and free from rust or other 
foreign particles.

3.

A plastic cap is provided inside the fuel fill opening 
to protect the tank during manufacturing. Remove 
and discard. Use the threaded fuel tank cap to 
close after fill-up.

4.

Always fill the fuel tank outdoors and use a funnel 
or spout to prevent spilling

5.

Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded grade 
automotive gasoline. 

6.

Never fill the fuel tank completely. Fill the tank to 
within 1/2" from the top to provide space for 
expansion of fuel.

7.

Wipe off any spilled fuel before starting the engine.

8.

At the end of the job, empty the fuel tank if the snow 
thrower is not going to be used for 30 days or 
longer. See off-season storage instructions on 
page 18.

To Start Engine

cord and plug and is designed to operate on 120 volt 
AC household current. Follow all instructions carefully. 

Cold Start

augers) with the clutch grips disengaged, shut the
engine off immediately.
