Figure 10

Now that you have set up your snow thrower, it’s important to become acquainted with its controls and features. Refer to Figure 10.

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

Your snow thrower has six forward (F) speeds. Position one (1) is the slowest and position six (6) is the fastest.

Reverse

Your snow thrower has two reverse (R) speeds. One (1) is the slower and two (2) is the faster.

Chute Assembly

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

Ignition Key

The ignition key is a safety device. It must be fully inserted in order for the engine to start. Remove the ignition key when the snow thrower is not in use.

NOTE: Do not turn the ignition key in an attempt to start the engine. Doing so may cause it to break.

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.

Meets ANSI Safety Standards

Craftsman Snow Throwers conform to the safety standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
