OPERATION 00155 The operation of any snow thrower can result in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage.

We recommend standard safe ty glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles. HOW TO USE YOUR SNOW THROWER Know how to operate all controls before adding fuel or attempting to start the engine. STOPPING TRACTION DRIVE • Release traction drive control lever to stop the forward or reverse movement of the snow thrower. AUGER • Release the auger control lever to stop throwing snow. ENGINE 1. Move throttle control to “STOP” position. 2. Remove (do not turn) safety ignition key to prevent unauthorized use. NOTE: Never use choke to stop engine. TO USE FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE (See Fig. 11) The fuel shut-off valve is located beneath the fuel tank on the engine. Always op er ate the snow thrower with the fuel shut-off valve in the OPEN position. OFF OPEN FIG. 11 TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 12) The throttle control is located on the engine. Always op er ate the snow thrower with the engine at full throttle. Full throttle offers the best snow thrower performance. FAST SLOW TO USE CHOKE CON TROL (See Fig. 13) The choke con trol is located on the en gine. Use the choke control when ev er you are starting a cold en gine. Do not use to start a warm en gine. • To engage choke, turn knob clockwise. Slowly turn knob counterclockwise to disengage. FULLOFF FIG. 13 TO CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE (See Fig. 14) WARNING: Snow throwers have exposed rotating parts, which can cause severe injury from contact, or from material thrown from the discharge chute. Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, small children and pets at all times including startup. If the discharge chute or au ger become clogged, shut-off en gine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Use the clean-out tool, NOT YOUR HANDS, to un clog the chute and/or auger. The DIRECTION in which snow is to be thrown is controlled by the discharge chute control lever. • To change the discharge chute position, press downward on discharge chute control lever and move lever left or right until chute is in desired position. Be sure lever springs back and locks into desired position. DISCHARGE CHUTE CONTROL LEVER CHUTE DEFLECTOR REMOTE CONTROL LEVER FIG. 14 The DISTANCE that snow is thrown is controlled by the position of the chute deflector. Set the deflector low to throw snow a short distance; set the deflector higher to throw snow farther. • Press downward on chute deflector control lever and move lever forward to lower the deflector and decrease the distance. Move lever back to raise the deflector and increase the distance. Be sure lever springs back FIG. 12 10 and locks into desired position. OPERATION TO THROW SNOW (See Fig. 15) The auger rotation is controlled by the auger control lever located on the right side handle. • Squeeze auger control lever to handle to engage the auger and throw snow. • Release the auger control lever to stop throwing snow. AUGER CONTROL LEVER FIG. 15 USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 16) In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may become clogged with ice and snow.

Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the wire away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting. • Release the auger control lever and shut off the engine. • Remove the clean-out tool from it's mounting clip. Grasp the tool firmly by the handle and push and twist the tool into the discharge chute to dislodge the blockage. After the packed snow has been dislodged, return the clean- out tool to it's mounting clip by pushing it into the clip. • Make sure the discharge chute is pointed in a safe direction (no vehicles, buildings, p...
