Recoil Starter
• With engine running, pull starter rope with a rapid,
continuous full arm stroke three or four times.
Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud clattering
sound, which is not harmful to the engine or starter.
• Remove the ignition key. Do not turn key.
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
to prevent accidental starting while equipment is
unattended.
NOTE: Keep the ignition key in a safe place. The
engine will not start without the ignition key.
• Wipe all the snow and moisture from the carburetor
cover in the area of the control levers. Also, move
the control levers back and forth several times.
To Engage Drive
NOTE: Use the slower speeds until you are familiar
with the operation of the snow thrower.
• With the engine running near top speed, move shift
lever into one of the six FORWARD positions or two
REVERSE positions. Select a speed appropriate
for the snow conditions that exist.
• Squeeze the traction control against the right
handle and the snow thrower will move. Release it
and the drive motion will stop.
IMPORTANT: NEVER move shift lever without first
releasing the traction control. Doing so will cause
premature wear to drive system’s friction wheel rubber.
To Engage Augers
To engage the augers and start the snow throwing
action, squeeze the auger control against the left
handle.
To disengage power to the augers, release both the
auger control and the traction control, if engaged,
NOTE: The auger control can also be locked so you
can turn the chute directional control without
interrupting the snow throwing process. Refer to
Traction Control/ Auger Control Lock in Section 4 of this
manual.
Tire Chains (Optional Equipment)
Tire chains should be used whenever extra traction is
needed. See your local Cub Cadet dealer for
information regarding tire chains and other optional
accessories for your snow thrower.
