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.
