DRIVE SPEED/GEAR CONTROL
Move the drive speed control lever to the desired speed. There are eight (8)
settings: six (6) forward speeds and two (2) reverse speeds. 1 is the slowest
forward speed and 6 is the fastest forward speed. R1 is the slowest reverse
speed and R2 is the fastest reverse speed.
Note: There is no neutral drive setting since the drive control handle must be
engaged for movement. Neutral is achieved when the drive control handle is
disengaged.
CHUTE DISCHARGE DIRECTION ADJUSTMENT
WARNING - Never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator, bystanders, vehicles,
or nearby windows. Discharged snow and foreign objects accidentally picked up by the
Snow Thrower can cause serious damage and severe bodily injury. Always point the
discharge
chute in the opposite direction from potential hazards. The discharge chute can be adjusted 180º by
rotating the chute rotation handle. Rotate the chute rotation handle clockwise to move the discharge
chute to the right; counterclockwise to move the chute to the left.
SKID SHOES ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment of the skid shoes sets the height above the ground at which the auger shave plate operates.
For clearing snow from concrete, asphalt, and other smooth surfaces, set the auger shave plate so that the
bottom of the plate is just above the ground.
For clearing snow from gravel, dirt, and other rough surfaces set the auger shave plate slightly above the
ground to avoid dirt and gravel from entering the auger.
The optimal height of the plate will vary depending on the type of surface being cleared. Surfaces with
larger gravel or stones require a higher shave plate setting.
1.
Move the snow thrower to a solid, smooth, and level surface.
2.
Place a spacer board on the ground underneath the auger shave plate between the skid shoes. The
thickness of the board should be the same as the height above the ground you wish to raise the auger
shave plate. The skid shoes should not touch the board.
With the two nuts loose allow the skid shoe to slide to the ground then tighten the nuts to secure the skid
shoe.
OPERATING YOUR SNOW THROWER

Make sure insert the switch key.
4.
Press the primer bulb 3 times.
5.
Pull on the recoil starter handle slowly until a slight resistance is felt, then pull quickly to start the
engine. Return cord gently into the recoil starter. Never allow the cord to snap back.

Allow the engine to run for several minutes before cleaning snow. This allows the engine to stabilize
its speed and temperature.
