SNOW BLOWER
Operating the DR Snow Blower
1. Start the engine as described on the previous page.
2. After the engine has warmed up, set the Throttle to maximum speed.
3. Move the Shift Lever to the desired gear (see “Selecting Gears” in the next
section.
4. Make sure the Snow Blower Auger is clear of snow before engaging the
Auger Control Lever (Figure 32).
5. To start the Snow Blower Auger, push the Auger Control Lever down to the
Handle.
6. Gently squeeze the Drive Control Lever to engage the Wheels.
7. Upon completion of your work, allow the Auger to operate for a minute or
two to remove buildup and prevent icing.
8. Release the Drive and Auger Levers and pull out the Key to turn off the
engine.
Selecting Gears
 The Snow Blower has six forward gears (Figure 33) that are labeled 1
(slowest) to 6 (fastest).
 There are two reverse gears that are labeled R1 (slowest) to R2 (fastest).
Changing the Discharge Chute Rotation
The Discharge Chute Rotation can be set to any position within a 190 degrees
radius for ease of snow removal.
1. Rotate the Chute Rotation Knob until the desired angle is achieved (Figure
34). Rotate clockwise to rotate the Chute to the right. Rotate
counterclockwise to rotate the Chute to the left.

 If the Auger strikes a foreign object or if your machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration, immediately release
the Levers, stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop. Inspect for any damage and repair or
replace any damaged parts before restarting and operating the machine.
 Never use DR Blower as a snowplow. Do not push the snow; let the snow thrower work its way through the snow.
 If the ground speed of the machine is too fast, release the Drive Control Lever and shift to a slower speed to prevent the
discharge chute from becoming overloaded and clogged.
 In deeper snow you can raise the Snow Thrower by pushing down on the handlebars to remove some of the top layer of snow
first, or take a half-width pass. A second or third pass will remove the remaining snow much easier.
Always ensure the Drive Control Lever is released before shifting gears to
prevent damage to the machine and possible injury to the operator.
