6.Select forward or reverse speeds as needed using the Speed Selector (A, Figure 2). Release both con- trol levers before changing drive speeds.

CLEARING A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE

Hand contact with the rotating auger/impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snowthrowers. DO NOT use your hand to clean out the discharge chute. To clear the chute:

1.Stop the engine. Remove the key

2.Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger/impeller blades have stopped rotating.

3.Always use the clean-out tool. DO NOT use your hands.

GROUND SPEED SELECTOR

Use the speed selector (A, Figure 2) to control the drive speed of the snowthrower. There are five forward speeds and two reverse speeds.

Use the lower speeds to blow deep or wet snow. Use the higher speeds to blow light snow or to drive the snow- thrower without blowing snow.

To change speeds, release both control levers (B, Figure 2), then move the speed selector to the desired setting. Fully depress the control levers to resume.
