Electric Chute-Rotation Switch

The electric chute-rotation switch is located on the left side of the snow thrower dash panel. See Figure 7.

To change the direction in which discharged snow is thrown, proceed as follows:

•Push the toggle switch to the left to rotate the chute counterclockwise.

•Push the toggle switch to the right to rotate the chute clockwise.

IMPORTANT: Release the switch once the chute has completed its rotation cycle in either direction. Failure to do so can result in damage to the electric chute motor and/or its drive gear.

Heated Handles Switch

The heated handles switch is located on the right side of the snow thrower handle panel. To activate the heated handles, toggle the switch to the right to generate heat within the handles. Toggle the heated handles switch to the left into the OFF position after using the snow thrower.

NOTE: The heated handles are a compliment to, not a substitute for, proper cold weather outerwear for hands. It is recommended that the user wear adequate winter protection for hands (like gloves/mittens) when operating this snow thrower.

Wheel Steering Controls

The left and right wheel steering controls are located on the underside of the handles and are used to assist in steering the snow thrower. Squeeze the right wheel steering control when turning right, squeeze the left control when turning left. Operate your snow thrower in open areas until you become familiar with these controls. See Figure 7.

NOTE: It is easier to maneuver a non-running snow thrower with both wheel steering controls held in simultaneously.

Headlight

The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.

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. See Figure 7.

Safety Ignition Key

The safety ignition key must be fully inserted in the switch before the unit will start. Remove the ignition key when the snow thrower is not in use. See Figure 7.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT attempt to turn the key.
