Starting and Stopping the Engine
Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual packed with your snow
thrower for instructions on starting and stopping the engine.
To Engage Drive
1. With the throttle control in the Fast (rabbit) position, move
shift lever into one of the six forward (F) positions or two
reverse (R) positions. Select a speed appropriate for the
snow conditions and a pace you’re comfortable with.
2. Squeeze the drive control against the handle and the snow
thrower will move. Release it and drive motion will stop.
To Engage Augers
1. To engage augers and start snow throwing, squeeze the
left hand auger control against the left handle. Release to
stop augers.
2. While the auger control is engaged, squeeze the drive
control to move, release to stop. Do not shift speeds while
the drive is engaged.
NOTE: The following instructions are for models equipped with
the optional interlock mechanism only.
NOTE: This drive lever also locks auger control so you can turn
the chute control without interrupting the snow throwing
process.
3. Release the auger control; the interlock mechanism should
keep the auger control engaged until the drive control is
released.
4. Release the drive control to stop both the augers and
the wheel drive. To stop the auger, both levers must be
released.
To Steer
With the drive control engaged, squeeze the right steering
trigger control to turn right. Squeeze the left steering trigger
control to turn left.
CAUTION: Operate the snow thrower in open
areas and at slow speeds until you are familiar with
the drive control and comfortable operating the
steering controls.
Engage Heated Grips (If so Equipped)
CAUTION: It is recommended that you wear
gloves when using the heated grip. If the heated
grip become too hot, turn it off.
To activate the heated grips, move the switch found on the
rear of the dash panel into the ON position. Refer to “Controls”
section.
Replacing Shear Pins
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with shear pins
and cotter pins. 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. See Fig. 5-1.
CAUTION: NEVER replace the auger shear
pins with anything other than OEM Part No.
738-04124A replacement shear pins. 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.
WARNING! Always turn off the snow
thrower’s engine and remove the key prior to
replacing shear pins.
