The operation of any snowthrower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe
eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before beginning snowthrower Operation. We recommend
standard safety glasses or Wide Vision Safety Mask for over spectacles.
SNOWTHROWER OPERATION
The most effective use of the snowthrower will be established by
experience, taking into consideration the terrain, wind conditions
and building location which will determine the direction of the dis-
charge chute.
NOTE: Do not throw snow toward a building as hidden objects
could be thrown with sufficient force to cause damage.
TO STOP YOUR SNOWTHROWER
1. To stop throwing snow, release the auger drive lever (see
Figure 11).
2. To stop the wheels, release the traction drive lever.
3. To stop the engine, push the throttle control lever to off and
pull out the ignition key.
TO CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE
1. Rotate the crank to set the direction (left to right) of the dis-
charge chute (see Figure 10).
2. Adjust the snow chute deflector. Loosen the wing nut on the
side of the snow chute deflector. Raise the snow chute
deflector for more distance or lower for less distance. Tighten
wing nut (see Figure 12).
HOW TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD
1. Start the engine. See “To Start Engine” in this section.
NOTE: Always release the traction drive lever before moving
the speed select lever.
2. Ground speed is determined by snow conditions. Set the
speed select lever (see Figure 13) in one of the following
positions.
1–2 Wet, Heavy, Slushy, Extra Deep
3 Moderate
4–5 Very Light
6 Transport Only
IMPORTANT: Before operating, make sure the area in front of
snowthrower is clear of bystanders or obstacles.
3. Engage the traction drive lever (see Figure 11). As the
snowthrower starts to move, maintain a firm hold on the han-
dles and guide the snowthrower along the cutting path. Do not
attempt to push the snowthrower.
4. To stop forward motion, release the traction drive lever.
5. To move the snowthrower backwards, move the speed select
lever into either first or second reverse position and engage
the traction drive lever.
