While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow 2.
thrower), engage the auger.
Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten 3.

several times.
With the auger control in the disengaged “up” position, 4.
walk to the front of the machine.
Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating 5.
and shows NO signs of motion. If the auger shows ANY
signs of rotating, immediately return to the operator’s
position and shut off the engine. Wait for ALL moving parts
to stop before re-adjusting the auger control.
