This Operator’s Manual may cover a range of product specifications for various models. Characteristics and fea- tures discussed and/or illustrated in this manual may not be applicable to all models.

Now that you have setup your snow thrower, it’s important to become acquainted with its controls and features.

NOTE: For detailed starting instructions and more information on all engine controls, refer to the Tecumseh Engines manual packed separately.

Shift Lever

The shift lever is located on the right side of the handle panel. Place the shift lever into any of eight positions to control the direction of travel and ground speed.

Forward

There are six forward (F) speeds. Position one (1) is the slowest and position six (6) is the fastest.

Reverse

There are two reverse (R) speeds. One (1) is the slower and two (2) is the faster.

Choke Control

The choke control is found on the rear of the engine and is activated by rotating the knob clockwise. Activating the choke control closes the choke plate on

the carburetor and aids in starting the engine.

Throttle Control

The throttle control is located on the engine. It regulates the speed of the engine and will shut off the engine when pushed down completely.

Primer

Depressing the primer forces fuel directly into the engine’s carburetor to aid in cold-weather starting.

Oil Fill

34/0

Engine oil level can be checked and oil added through the oil fill.
