USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 16)

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 inspecting, 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.

•Restart the engine, then squeeze the auger control lever to the handle to clear snow from the auger hous- ing and the discharge chute.

TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 17)

SELF-PROPELLING, forward and reverse movement of the snow thrower, is controlled by the traction drive control lever located on the left side handle.

•Squeeze traction drive control lever to handle to engage the drive system.

•Release traction drive control lever to stop the forward or reverse movement of the snow thrower.

SPEED and DIRECTION are controlled by the drive speed control lever.

•Press downward on the speed control lever and move lever to desired position BEFORE engaging the trac- tion drive control lever. Be sure lever springs back and locks into desired position.

CAUTION: Do not move speed control lever when traction drive control lever is engaged. 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.

NOTE: When both traction drive and auger control levers are engaged, the traction drive control lever will lock the auger control lever in the engaged position. This will allow you to release your right hand from the handle and adjust the discharge chute direction without interrupting the snow throwing process.

•To turn left – squeeze left side trigger.

•To turn right – squeeze right side trigger.
