Features & Controls

Auger Control

Engages the auger/impeller when depressed. Releasing the control stops the auger/impeller.

Chute Direction Control

Push the lever forward to unlock the rotator control. Moving the lever to the left will turn the spout to the left side and moving the lever to the right will rotate the spout to the right side. Releasing the lever locks the spout in position.

Remote Deflector Control

Easy Turn™ Control

Easy Turn Control: Engaging the Easy Turn™ lever releases the left wheel to allow easy turning in tight areas. Releasing the control automatically engages both drive wheels for full traction.

Traction Lock Pins: (8.5HP Models Only) The right traction wheel can be completely released using the locking pin (see Figure 7). This allows the unit to be eas- ily moved with the engine off.

Stop Switch (Power Built Models Only)

Turn the the switch to the ON position to operate the engine. Turn the switch to the OFF position to stop the engine.

Fuel

Fuel tank filler cap (see illustration). Note: The fuel shut off valve is located under the fuel tank or on the front of the engine. Close the valve when the snowthrower is not in use. Open the valve before starting.

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.

Throttle Lever (Intek Models Only)

Controls engine speed. Move toward the hare icon for faster engine speed, move toward the turtle icon for slower engine speed. Move the throttle all the way to STOP to stop the engine. Set throttle to FAST (hare icon) for operation.

Engine Key

The engine key prevents the engine from being started. The key must be fully inserted into the key slot for the unit to start. The key can also used to stop the engine by pulling the key out of the key slot.

Choke Knob

The choke knob adjusts the air/fuel mixture, and is used to help start a cold engine by providing a richer mixture. Once the engine is warm and running smoothly, the choke knob should be set to the off position to provide a normal air/fuel mix.
