Snow thrower controls and features are described below and illustrated in Fig.
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.
Forward
There are six forward (F) speeds. Position one (1) is the slowest and position six (6) is the fastest.
Reverse
There are two reverse (R) speeds. One (1) is the slower and two (2) is the faster.
Choke Control
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.
Ignition Key
The ignition key is a safety device. 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.
