Engine Controls

See the Engine Operator’s Manual for the location and function of the controls on the engine.

Auger

When engaged, the auger rotation draws snow into the auger housing and throws it out the discharge chute. Rubber paddles on the auger also aid in propelling the snow thrower as they come in contact with the pavement.

Auger Control

Located on the upper handle, the auger control is used to engage and disengage drive to the auger. Squeeze the control against the upper handle to engage the auger; release it to disengage.

Chute Assembly

EZ Chute (If so equipped)

Rotate the discharge chute to the left or right using the chute handle. The pitch of the discharge chute controls the angle at which the snow is thrown. Loosen the wing knob on the side of the discharge chute before pivoting the discharge chute upward or downward. Retighten the knob once the desired position has been achieved.

Low-Crank Chute Assembly (If so equipped)

Rotate the discharge chute to the left or right using the chute rotation control. The pitch of the discharge chute controls the angle at which the snow is thrown. Loosen the wing knob on the side of the discharge chute before pivoting the discharge chute upward or downward. Retighten the knob once the desired position has been achieved.

Shave Plate

The shave plate maintains contact with the pavement as the snow thrower is propelled, allowing snow close to the pavement’s surface to be discharged.
