OPERATION
Now that you have set up your snow blower, it’s important to become acquainted
with its controls and features. Refer to Figure 16.
NOTE: This Operator’s Manual covers several models. Snow blower features may
vary by model. Not all features in this manual are applicable to all snow blower
models and the snow blower depicted may differ from yours.
NOTE: All references to the left or right side of the snow blower are from the
operator’s position. Any exceptions will be noted.
Shift Lever
The shift lever is located on the right side of the handle panel. Place the shift lever
into any of eight positions to control the direction of travel and ground speed.
Forward
Your snow blower has six forward (F) speeds. Position one (1) is the slowest and
position six (6) is the fastest.
Reverse
Your snow blower has two reverse (R) speeds. Position one (1) is the slower and
position two (2) is the faster.
Safety Key
The safety key is a safety device. It must be fully inserted in
order for the engine to start. Remove the safety key when
the snow blower is not in use.
NOTE: Do not turn the safety key in an attempt to start the
engine. Doing so may cause it to break.
Choke Control
The choke control is found on the rear of the engine and is
activated by turning the rotary choke knob to the CHOKE
position. Activating the choke control closes the choke
plate on the carburetor and aids in starting the engine.
Recoil Starter Handle
This handle is used to manually start the engine.
LED Light (If Equipped)
The LED light is located inside of the handle panel and is ON when the engine is
running.
LED Light Bar (If Equipped)
The LED headlight is located on top of the auger housing and is automatically
turned ON when the engine is started.
Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the rear of the engine. It regulates the speed of the
engine and will shut off the engine when moved into the STOP position.
Primer
Depressing the primer forces fuel directly into the
engine’s carburetor to aid in cold-weather starting.
Electric Starter Button (If Equipped)
Pressing the electric starter button engages the engine’s electric starter when
plugged into a 120V power source.
Electric Starter Outlet (If Equipped)
Requires the use of a three-prong outdoor extension cord and a 120V power source/
wall outlet.
Oil Fill
Engine oil level can be checked and oil added through the oil fill.
Fuel Cap
Unthread the fuel cap to add gasoline to the fuel tank.
Auger
When engaged, the auger blades rotate and draw snow into the auger housing.
Chute Assembly
Snow drawn into the auger housing is discharged out the chute assembly.
Skid Shoes
Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust upward for hard-packed
snow. Adjust downward when operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces.
Wheel Steering Controls (If Equipped)
The left and right wheel steering controls are located on the underside of the
handles. Squeeze the right control to turn right; squeeze the left control to turn left.
NOTE: Operate the snow blower in open areas until you are familiar with these
controls.
