Auger

Shave Plate

When engaged, the auger rotation draws snow into the auger housing and throws it out the discharge chute. Rubber paddles on the auger also aid in propelling the snow thrower as they come in contact with the pavement.

Auger Control

Located on the upper handle, the auger control is used to engage and disengage drive to the auger. Squeeze the control against the upper handle to engage the auger; release it to disengage.

The shave plate maintains contact with the pavement as the snow thrower is propelled, allowing snow close to the pavement’s surface to be discharged.

Recoil Starter Handle

The recoil starter handle is used to manually start the engine.

EZ Chute

The rotation of the chute is controlled by rotating the chute control handle left or right. The angle/distance that snow is thrown is changed by manually tilting the upper chute to the desired position.
