Never make adjust- ments to the chute assembly unless both controls are disengaged and the operator is standing beside the unit.

Throttle Control

The throttle control is located on the engine. It regulates the speed of the engine and also stops the engine.

Drive Control

Located on the underside of the upper handle, the drive control is used to engage/disengage wheels. Pull the drive control against the upper handle to engage the wheels; release to disengage.

Ignition Key

The ignition key is a safety device. Insert key and snap in place; do not turn ignition key. Pull the key out halfway to stop the engine. Remove key when the unit is not in use.

Shave Plate

The shave plate maintains contact with pavement as the snow thrower is propelled, allowing snow close to pavement’s surface to be discharged.

Auger Control

Located on the top side of the upper handle, the auger control is used to engage and disengage the augers. Pull the auger control back against the upper handle to engage the augers; release to disengage.

IMPORTANT: Refer to Auger Control Test on page 10 prior to operating your snow thrower. Read and follow all instructions carefully and perform all adjustments to verify your snow thrower is operating safely and properly.

Skid Shoe

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low position. Use middle or high position when area to be cleared is uneven or on gravel surfaces.

Engine Operating Controls

Refer to the separate engine manual for engine operating controls and their functions.

Discharge Chute

The direction snow is thrown can be changed by turning the lower chute with the chute handle. The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by raising the upper chute for greater distance, or lowering for less distance. Loosen the wing nut on the side of the discharge chute to adjust. Pivot the chute to desired position, and retighten wing nut.
