Figure 4-1

Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine indoors or while the engine is hot or running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition.

Now that you have set up your snow thrower for opera- tion, get acquainted with its controls and features. These are described below and illustrated in Figure 4-1. This knowledge will allow you to use your new equipment to its fullest potential.

NOTE: For detailed starting instructions and more information on all engine controls, refer to the engine manual packed with your unit.

Shift Lever

The shift lever is located on the right side of the handle panel. Place the shift lever into any of eight positions to control the direction of travel and ground speed.

Forward

Your snow thrower has six forward (F) speeds, with position number one (1) being the slowest speed.

Reverse

Your snow thrower has two reverse (R) speeds, with position number one (1) being the slower speed.

Choke Control

The choke control is found on top of the engine and is acti- vated by rotating the knob counter clockwise. Activating the choke control closes the choke plate on the carburetor and aids in starting the engine.

Primer

Depressing the primer forces fuel directly into the engine’s carburetor to aid in cold-weather starting.

Oil Fill

Engine oil level can be checked and oil added through the oil fill.

Safety Key

The safety key must be pushed in place in order for the engine to start. Pull the safety key out to prevent unauthor- ized use of equipment.

Rocker Switch

The rocker switch is used to stop the engine. The switch must be in the “ON” position in order to start the engine.
