Operating Your Snow Thrower
STOPPING THE ENGINE (fig. 2)
To stop the engine in an emergency:
1. Flip Rocker Switch to STOP position, or
2. Pull Safety Key from Engine.
Under normal conditions, use the following procedure:
1. Flip Rocker Switch to STOP position.
2. Pull Safety Key from Engine and store in a safe
place for future use.
To Engage Drive
To engage the drive, squeeze the drive control completely against the upper handle to engage the
wheels. To stop the forward motion, release the drive control.
To Engage Augers
To engage the augers, squeeze the auger control handle completely against the upper handle. To
stop the augers, release handle.
Replacing Shear Pins
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear pins and nylon locknuts. If the auger should
strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins may shear. If the
augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have sheared.
NEVER replace the auger shear pins with anything other than authorized part. Any damage to the
auger gearbox or other components as a result of failing to do so will NOT be covered by your snow
thrower’s warranty.
Always turn off the snow thrower’s engine prior to replacing shear pins.
