Heated Handles Switch

The heated handles switch is located on the right side of the snow thrower handle panel. To activate the heated handles, toggle the switch to the right to generate heat within the handles. Toggle the heated handles switch to the left into the OFF position after using the snow thrower.

The heated handles are a compliment to, not a substitute for, proper cold weather outerwear for hands. It is recommended that the user wear adequate winter protection for hands (like gloves/mittens) when operating this snow thrower.

Ignition Key

The ignition key must be inserted in the switch in order for the engine to start. Remove the ignition key when the snow thrower is not in use.

NOTE: Do NOT “turn” the ignition key in an attempt to start the engine. Doing so may cause it to break.

Fuel Shut-Off Valve (optional equipment)

On models so equipped, the fuel shut-off valve, located under fuel tank, controls fuel-flow from the gas tank. See Figure 7.

Headlight

The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.

Chute Clean-Out Tool

WARNING: Never use your hand to clear a clogged discharge chute. Shut off engine and remain behind handles until all moving parts have stopped before unclogging.

The chute clean-out tool (see Figure 7) is designed to clear a clogged discharge chute. Refer to Operating Your Snow Thrower on page 10 for detailed instructions on how to properly use the chute clean-out tool.

NOTE: This item is fastened with a cable tie to the rear of the Auger Housing at the factory. Cut the cable tie before operating the snow thrower.

Throttle Control

The throttle control is located on the engine. It regulates the speed of the engine. See Figure 7.

Skid Shoe

The position of the skid shoe is determined by the condition of the ground from where snow has to be removed. See Figure 7.
