TO ENGAGE DRIVE
1. With the engine running near top speed,
move shift lever into one of the possible
FORWARD or REVERSE positions. Select a
speed appropriate for the snow conditions
that exist. Use the slower speeds until you
are familiar with the operation of the
snowthrower.
2. Squeeze the auger clutch grip and the au
-
gers will turn. Release it and the augers
will stop.
3. Squeeze the drive clutch grip and the
snowthrower will move. Release it and
drive motion will stop.
NOTE: NEVER move shift lever without
first releasing the drive clutch.
DRIVE WHEELS
Your snowthrower can be operated with both
wheels driving for maximum traction in heavy
snow or with one wheel driving for easier
turning in tight areas.
For both wheels driving (straight axle), place
the klick pin in the hole in the hub on the
right hand rim. (See figure 15B).
For one wheel driving, place the klick pin on
the right hand axle in the outside axle hole.
(See figure 15A).
TIRE PRESSURE
Pneumatic tires only. Tires are over-inflated
for shipping purposes. Correct tire pressure
is 10-15 psi.
OPERATING TIPS
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up
for a few minutes as the engine will
not develop full power until it reaches
operating temperature.
WARNING: Temperature of muffler
and surrounding areas may exceed
150°F. Avoid these areas.
1. For most efficient snow removal, remove
snow immediately after it falls.
2. Discharge snow downwind whenever possi
-
ble. The distance snow is thrown can be
adjusted by adjusting the angle of the
chute assembly. The sharper the angle, the
shorter the distance snow is thrown.
Slightly overlap each previous swath.
3. Set the slide shoes 1/4" below the scraper
bar for normal usage. The slide shoes may
be adjusted upward for hard-packed snow.
Adjust downward when using on gravel or
crushed rock.
4. Be certain to follow the precautions listed
under previous section, “To Stop Engine”
to prevent possible freeze up.
5. Clean the snowthrower thoroughly after
each use.

WARNING: NEVER attempt to clean
chute or make any adjustments
while engine is running.
