Fuel
Fuel tank filler cap (see illustration). Note: The fuel shut
off valve is located under the fuel tank or on the front of
the engine. Close the valve when the snowthrower is not
in use. Open the valve before starting.
Primer Button
When pressed, the primer button provides initial fuel to
help start a cold engine. Normally, pressing the primer
button twice will provide enough fuel to start a cold
engine.
Throttle Lever
Controls engine speed. Move toward the hare icon for
faster engine speed, move toward the turtle icon for
slower engine speed. Move the throttle all the way to
STOP to stop the engine. Set throttle to FULL/FAST
(hare icon) for operation.
Engine Key
The engine key prevents the engine from being started.
The key must be fully inserted into the key slot for the
unit to start. The key can also used to stop the engine by
pulling the key out of the key slot.
Choke Knob
The choke knob adjusts the air/fuel mixture, and is used
to help start a cold engine by providing a richer mixture.
Once the engine is warm and running smoothly, the
choke knob should be set to the off position to provide a
normal air/fuel mix.
Grip Warmers (Select Models)
The optional grip warmers are powered when the engine
is running and have three settings: low, off, and high.
Headlight (Select Models, Not Pictured)
For use in low sunlight - early morning and evening. The
headlight is on at all times when the engine is running.
Auger Control
Engages the auger/impeller when depressed. Releasing
the control stops the auger/impeller.
Chute Direction Control
Models with Electric Chute Rotator: Depressing the
chute rotator switch rotates the chute left or right.
Models with Manual Chute Rotator: Turning the crank
rotates the discharge chute to desired position.
Remote/Regular Deflector Control
Regular (Knob) Chute Deflector: Locks chute deflector in
desired position. Tilting the chute deflector UP provides
a higher stream and greater distance, while tilting the
deflector DOWN provides a lower stream and less dis-
tance.
Remote Chute Deflector: Twist the knob to unlock the
chute deflector. Pull or push the knob to change the
deflector angle. UP provides a higher stream and
greater distance, while tilting the deflector DOWN pro-
vides a lower stream and less distance.
Easy Turn™ Control
Easy Turn Control: Engaging the Easy Turn™ lever
releases the right wheel to allow easy turning in tight
areas. Releasing the control automatically engages both
drive wheels for full traction.
Traction Lock Pins: The right traction wheel can be
completely released using the locking pin (see Figure 9).
This allows the unit to be easily moved with the engine
off.
Starter
Electric Start (If Equipped): Depressing the starter but-
ton activates the electric starter. The electric start button
operates on 120 Volts AC, which is provided by connec-
tion to the extension cord provided with units equipped
with this feature. Connect this extension cord ONLY to a
properly grounded 3 prong electrical outlet.
Recoil Starter (All Models): Pulling the recoil handle
cranks the engine.
