NOTE: For detailed information on all engine controls, refer to the separate Tecumseh Engine Operator’s Manual.

Shift Lever

The shift lever is located in the right side of the handle panel and is used to determine ground speed and direction of travel.

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.

Forward

There are five forward (F) speeds. Position one (1) is the slowest and position five (5) is the fastest.

Reverse

There are two reverse (R) speeds. One (1) is the slower and two (2) is the faster.

Ignition Key

The ignition key is a safety devise. 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.
