Snow thrower controls and features are described below
and illustrated in Fig. 4-1.
NOTE: For detailed information on all engine controls,
refer to the separate Tecumseh Engine Operator’s Manual.
Shift Lever
The shift lever is located in the right side of
the handle panel and is used to determine
ground speed and direction of travel.
Forward
There are six forward (F) speeds. Position one
(1) is the slowest and position six (6) is the
fastest.
Reverse
There are two reverse (R) speeds. One (R1) is
the slower and two (R2) is the faster.
Choke Control
The choke control is found on the rear of the engine and
is activated by rotating the knob clockwise. Activating the
choke control closes the choke plate on the carburetor and
aids in starting the engine.
Ignition Key
The ignition key is a safety devise. It must be fully inserted
in order for the engine to start. Remove the ignition key
when the snow thrower is not in use.
Important: Do not turn the ignition key in an attempt to
start the engine. Doing so may cause it to break.
