Cub Cadet 524 SWE User Manual

Snow thrower controls and features are described below and
illustrated in Fig. 4-1.
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 counter-clockwise. Activating the
choke control closes the choke plate on the
carburetor and aids in starting the engine.
Key
The key is a safety devise. It must be fully
inserted in order for the engine to start.
Remove the key when the snow thrower is
not in use.
Note: Do not turn the key in an attempt to
start the engine. Doing so may cause it to
break.
