loud clattering sound, which is not harmful to the engine or starter.

•Move throttle control to “stop” or “off” position.

•Remove ignition key. Do not turn key. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended.

NOTE: Keep key in a safe place. Engine will not start without ignition key.

•Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor cover in the area of the control levers. Also, move control levers back and forth several times.

To Engage Wheel Drive

•With the engine running near top speed, move shift lever to one of the eight positions to set desired speed and direction. Select speed appropriate for the snow conditions that exist.

NOTE: Use slower speeds in higher snow and/or until you are familiar with the snow thrower operation.

•Squeeze wheel drive control against the right handle to move the snow thrower; release it to stop.

IMPORTANT: NEVER move the shift lever without first releasing the wheel drive control. Doing so will cause premature wear on the drive system’s friction wheel.

To Engage Augers

•To engage augers and start snow throwing, squeeze the auger control against the left handle.

•To disengage power to the augers, release both the auger control and the wheel drive control, if engaged.

Operating Tips

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. The engine will not develop full power until it reaches operating temperature.

WARNING: The temperature of the muffler and the surrounding areas may exceed 150°F (65°C ). Avoid these areas.

•If possible, remove snow immediately after it falls.

•Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.

•Slightly overlap each previous path.

•Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for normal usage. Adjust it upward for hard-packed snow and downward when using on gravel or crushed rock.

Chute Clean-Out Tool

The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of the auger housing with a mounting clip. Never use your hand to clean a clogged chute or chute opening; use this clean-out tool instead.

•Release both the wheel drive control and the auger drive control levers.

•Stop the engine by removing the ignition key.

•Remove the chute clean-out tool from the clip which secures it to the rear of the auger housing. See Figure 12.

•Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to remove any snow and ice in the discharge chute.

•Re-fasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of the auger housing and restart engine.

•While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower), engage the auger clutch lever for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow or ice from the discharge chute before continuing to clear snow.
