Stopping the Engine
1. Run the engine for a few minutes without load before stopping to help dry
off any moisture on the engine.
WARNING
Muffler, engine and surrounding areas become hot and can cause a burn.
Be careful and do not touch when they are hot.
Engaging the Auger
Engage the auger by squeezing the auger control against the upper handle. Release
the control to stop the auger.
Engaging the Drive
Lift up slightly on the upper handle to allow the rubber paddles on the auger to
contact the pavement and propel the snow thrower forward. Pushing downward on
the handle will raise the auger off the ground and stop the forward motion.
NOTE: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will result in premature
wear to the rubber auger paddles, which will not be covered by the warranty.
Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common
cause of injury associated with snow throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the
discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1. Stop the engine. See instructions above for how to stop the engine.
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool or stick, not your hands.

. To stop the engine remove the key and store it in a safe place.
NOTE: Remove the key to quickly stop the engine in the event of an
emergency.
3
. Wipe all the snow and moisture away from the engine controls area.
Operating the Snow Thrower
• Once the auger drive is engaged, roll the snow thrower into the layer of snow
to be removed.
• Adjust the chute so that the snow is not thrown over other snow that is to be
removed.
• Prevent possible property d
amage or personal injury from object ricochet by
planning your snow throwing pattern to avoid discharge towards windows,
walls, cars, etc.
• Do not overload machine capacity by attempting to clear snow at too fast of a
rate.
• Never operate this machine without good visibility or light.
• Always be sure of your footing and keep a firm hold on the handles.
• Walk, never run when operating snow thrower.
• Look down and behind and use care when backing up.
