Features & Controls
Auger Control
Engages the auger/impeller when depressed. Releasing the control stops the auger/impeller.
Chute Direction Control
Push the lever forward to unlock the rotator control. Moving the lever to the left will turn the spout to the left side and moving the lever to the right will rotate the spout to the right side. Releasing the lever locks the spout in position.
Remote Deflector Control

Turn the the switch to the ON position to operate the engine. Turn the switch to the OFF position to stop the engine.

Primer Button
When pressed, the primer button provides initial fuel to help start a cold engine. Normally, pressing the primer button twice will provide enough fuel to start a cold engine.
Throttle Lever (Intek Models Only)
Controls engine speed. Move toward the hare icon for faster engine speed, move toward the turtle icon for slower engine speed. Move the throttle all the way to STOP to stop the engine. Set throttle to FAST (hare icon) for operation.
