White Outdoor 31AH7Q3G190 manual Electric Chute-RotationSwitch, Track Steering Controls, Headlight

Electric Chute-Rotation Switch

The electric chute-rotation switch is located on the left side of the snow thrower dash panel. See Figure 7.

To change the direction in which discharged snow is thrown, proceed as follows:

•Push the toggle switch to the left to rotate the chute counterclockwise.

•Push the toggle switch to the right to rotate the chute clockwise.

IMPORTANT: Release the switch once the chute has completed its rotation cycle in either direction. Failure to do so can result in damage to the electric chute motor and/or its drive gear.

Track Steering Controls

The left and right track steering controls are located on the underside of the handles and they are used to assist in steering the snow thrower. Squeeze the right track control when turning right, squeeze the left control when turning left. Operate your snow thrower in open areas until you become familiar with these controls. See Figure 7.

NOTE: It is easier to maneuver a non-running snow thrower with both track steering controls held in simultaneously.

Headlight

The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.

Throttle Control

The throttle control is located on the engine. It regulates the speed of the engine and will shut off the engine when pushed down completely. See Figure 7.

Safety Ignition Key

The safety ignition key must be fully inserted in the switch before the unit will start. Remove the ignition key when the snow thrower is not in use. See Figure 7.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT attempt to turn the key.

Fuel Shut-off Valve

The fuel shut-off valve, located under the fuel tank, controls fuel flow from the tank. Always make certain it is in the Open (vertical) position before attempting to start the engine. See Figure 7.

Heated Handles Switch

This switch is located on the right side of the snow thrower dash panel. To activate the heated handles, toggle the switch to the right to generate heat within the handle grips. Toggle the switch to the left to the OFF position after using the snow thrower. See Figure 7.

NOTE: The heated handles grips are a compliment to, not a substitute for, proper cold weather outerwear for the operator’s hands. It is recommended that the snow thrower operator wear gloves/mittens to avoid extremities of winter while operating this equipment.

Track Lock Lever

The track lock lever is located on the right side of the snow thrower and is used to select the position of the auger housing and the method of track operation. Move the lever to the right, then forward or backward to one of the three positions. See Figure 8.

Transport: Raises the front end of the snow thrower for easy transport. Using proper caution, this position may also be used on many gravel driveways to clear snow while leaving gravel undisturbed.

Normal Snow: Allows the tracks to be suspended independently for continuous ground contact.

Packed Snow: Locks the front end of the snow thrower down to the ground for hard-packed or icy snow conditions.
