call customer service.

Once the engine has started. Slowly move the choke lever all the way to the “OPEN” position. Allow
the engine to run for several minutes before attempting to clean snow.
CLEARING SNOW
Start the engine once your snow thrower has been running outside for several minutes, it is now ready for
use. Make sure the path in front of your Snow Thrower is free from people, animals, objects, and all other
obstructions except for snow.
Adjust the chute outlet to the desired direction.
Turn the chute rotation handle clockwise or counter-clockwise until the desired position is reached.
WARNING! Never direct the chute outlet toward people or animals. While snow may seem harmless, it can
contain rocks or other debris that can cause serious injury when projected through the chute.
1. Engage/depress the auger control lever (handle) to start the augers and impeller turning.
2. Set the desired direction and speed using the speed/gear control lever.
3. Engage/depress the drive control lever (handle) and direct the snow thrower into the snow to be cleared.
NOTICE: NEVER change speed/gear positions while the drive control lever (handle) is engaged.
Disengage the drive control handle BEFORE changing speeds or directions. If the snow is deeper
than the height of the auger, remove it in several steps taking narrower swaths. Make several passes
with the auger overlapping the cleared areas and reduce forward speed.
For the best clearing efficiency, clear snow before it melts, refreezes and hardens. Hard
packed and wet snow can be very difficult to clear.
Clearing wet heavy snow can be a challenge, depending on ambient temperature, humidity levels, and
overall climate conditions including actual snow conditions, there may be no 100% solution as snow
may be too wet or compacted to move or throw. Wet snow will tend to clog and stick more to the augers
and chute. Keep the auger engaged as much as possible when clearing wet snow to help prevent
clogging.
WARNING!
If snow is filled with foreign material, damage to the snow thrower may result.
Avoid snow with foreign materials.
STOPPING
When finished using your snow thrower, perform the following steps to shut it down.
1. Engage the auger and impeller for 30 seconds to clear any remaining snow inside your snow thrower
2. Stop the auger blade rotation by releasing the (left) auger control lever (handle).
3. Remove Engine Safety Switch Key to stop engine operation.
4. Remove snow from all snow thrower surfaces including the auger housing and chute areas.
CLEARING RESTRICTIONS
If the snow discharge chute or auger housing becomes clogged, STOP the engine. Remove the Engine Safety
key and make sure that all rotating parts have come to a complete stop. Use the supplied snow clean out tool to
clear the obstruction. After unclogging, wipe the tool clean, and place it in the holder on top of the auger
housing.
