Chute Tilt Control
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Move the
chute tilt control forward to decrease the distance, and
towards the rear to increase the distance.
Discharge Chute
The angle of the discharge chute controls the distance
that the snow is thrown. Tilt the discharge chute up for
greater distance; tilt down for less distance.
Fuel Shut-off Valve (If equipped)
If your snow thrower is equipped with a fuel shut-off
valve, locate it under the fuel tank. This valve controls
fuel flow from the tank. Always make certain it is in the
open (vertical) position before attempting to start the
engine. See Figure 13.
Headlight
The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.
Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the engine. It regulates
the speed of the engine.
Safety Ignition Key
The safety ignition key must be fully inserted in the
switch before the unit will start. Remove key when snow
thrower is not in use. Do not attempt to turn the key.
Skid Shoe
The position of the skid shoe is determined by the
condition of the ground from where snow has to be
removed. Refer to page 8 for details.

• Determine that your house wiring is a three-wire
grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you
are not certain.
• If your house wiring system is not a three-wire
grounded system, do not use this electric starter
under any conditions.
• If your home electrical system is grounded, but
a three-hole receptacle is not available, one should
be installed by a licensed electrician before using
the electric starter.
• If you have a grounded three-prong receptacle,
proceed as follows.
• Rotate choke knob to OFF position.
