OPERATION
TO CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE
WARNING: Snow throwers have ex-
posed rotating parts, which can cause
severe injury from contact, or from
material thrown from the discharge
chute. Keep the area of operation clear
of all persons, small children and pets
at all times including startup.
WARNING: If the discharge chute or
auger become clogged, shut-off engine
and wait for all moving parts to stop.
Use a stick, NOT YOUR HANDS, to un-
clog the chute and/or auger.
The DIRECTION in which snow is to be thrown is controlled
by the discharge chute control lever.
• To change the discharge chute position, press down-
ward on discharge chute control lever and move lever
left or right until chute is in desired position. Be sure
lever springs back and locks into desired position.
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL
The throttle control is located on the engine. Always oper-
ate the snow thrower with the engine at full throttle. Full
throttle offers the best snow thrower performance.
The operation of any snow thrower can result
in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which
can result in severe eye damage. Always
wear safety glasses or eye shields while
operating your snow thrower or performing
any adjustments or repairs. We recommend standard safety
glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn over spectacles.
