Chute Directional Control

The chute directional control is located on left side of the snow thrower.

To change the direction in which snow is thrown, turn chute direc- tional control as follows:

•Crank clockwise to discharge to the left.

CLOCKWISE TO DISCHARGE LEFT

COUNTER CLOCKWISE TO DISCHARGE RIGHT

Drive Control / Auger Control Lock

The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the drive control to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop.

This same lever also locks the auger control so you can operate the chute crank without interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged simultaneously with the drive control, the operator can release the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release the drive control to stop the augers and wheel drive (the auger control must also be released).

IMPORTANT: NEVER reposition the shift lever (change speeds or direction of travel) without first releasing the drive control and bringing the snow thrower to a complete stop. Doing so will result in premature wear to the snow thrower’s drive system.

Heated Handles Switch (If Equipped)

This switch is located on the right side of the snow thrower dash panel. To activate the heated handles, toggle the switch to the “ON” position to generate heat within the handle grips. Toggle the switch to the “OFF” position after using the snow thrower.

NOTE: The heated handles grips are a compliment to, not a substitute for, proper cold weather outerwear for the operator’s hands. It is recommended that the snow thrower operator wear gloves/mittens to avoid extremities of winter while operating this equipment.

• Crank counterclockwise to discharge to the right.

Wheel Steering Controls

The left and right wheel steering controls are located on the underside of the handles. Squeeze the right control to turn right; squeeze the left control to turn left.

NOTE: Operate the snow thrower in open areas until you are familiar with these controls.

Chute Clean-Out Tool

WARNING: Never use your hands to clear a clogged chute assembly. Shut off engine and remain behind handles until all moving parts have stopped before unclogging.

The clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of the auger housing with a mounting clip.

1.Release both the auger control and the drive/auger control lock.

2.Stop the engine by pushing the rocker switch to the “OFF” position, pull out the safety key.

3.Remove the clean-out tool from the mounting clip.

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

5.Re-fasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on the rear of the auger housing and restart 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 or ice from the chute assembly before continuing to clear snow.

Skid Shoes

Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces. See “Making Adjustment” Section.

Headlight

The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.

WARNING

The operation of any snow thrower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear safety glasses while operating the snow thrower, or while performing any adjust- ments or repairs on it.

Be sure no one other than the operator is standing near the snow thrower while starting engine or operating snow thrower. Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. En- gine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from any moving parts on engine and snow thrower.
