OPERATION

Throttle Control

The throttle control is located on the rear of the engine. It regulates the speed of the engine and will shut off the engine when moved into the STOP position.

Skid Shoes

Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces.

Recoil Starter Handle

This handle is used to manually start the engine.

Electric Starter Button

Pressing the electric starter button engages the engine’s electric starter when plugged into a 120V power source.

Electric Starter Outlet

Requires the use of a three-prong outdoor extension cord (included) and a 120V power source/wall outlet.

Augers

When engaged, the augers rotate and draw snow into the auger housing.

Chute Assembly

Snow drawn into the auger housing is discharged out the chute assembly.

Gas Cap

CONTROL

GO

The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the control grip against the handle to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop.

The drive control also locks the auger control so you can operate the chute directional control without interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged simultaneously with the drive control, the operator can release the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release both controls to stop the augers and wheel drive.

NOTE: Always release the drive control before changing speeds. Failure to do so will result in increased wear on your machine’s drive system.
