Stopping The Engine, To Engage Drive | Cub Cadet 933 SWE, 930 SWE

Stopping The Engine

Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry off any moisture on the engine.

1.Move throttle control to STOP position.

2.Remove the ignition key (Do not turn key) to prevent unauthorized use of equipment.

3.Wipe all snow and moisture from the area around the engine as well as the area in and around the drive control and auger control. Also, engage and release both controls several times.

NOTE: Keep the key in a safe place. The engine cannot start without the ignition key.

To Engage Drive

1.With the engine running near top speed, move shift lever to one of six FORWARD positions or two REVERSE positions. Select a 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.

2.Squeeze drive control against the right handle and the snow thrower will move. Release it and the drive motion will 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.

3.To turn the unit left or right, squeeze the respective wheel steering control. See Figure 4-1.

To Engage Augers

1.To engage augers and start snow throwing, squeeze the left hand auger control against the left handle. Release to stop augers.

2.While the auger control is engaged, squeeze the drive control to move, release to stop. Do not shift speeds while the drive is engaged.

NOTE: This same lever also locks auger control so you can turn the chute control without interrupting the snow throwing process.

3.Release the auger control; the interlock mechanism should keep the auger control engaged until the drive control is released.

4.Release the drive control to stop both the augers and the wheel drive. To stop the auger, both levers must be released.

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. 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 them 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. Should snow and ice become lodged in the chute assembly during operation, proceed as follows to safely clean the chute assembly and chute opening:

1.Release both the Auger Control and the Drive Control.

2.Stop the engine by removing the ignition key.

3.Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which secures it to the rear of the auger housing. See Figure 4-1.

4.Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to dislodge and scoop any snow and ice which has formed in and near the chute assembly.

5.Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of the auger housing, reinsert the ignition key and start the snow thrower’s engine.

6.While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower), engage the auger control for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow and ice from the chute assembly.

WARNING

The muffler, engine, and surrounding areas become hot and can cause a burn. Do not touch.

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

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.
