Choke Lever
Activating choke control closes the choke plate on
carburetor and aids in starting engine. Refer to the engine
manual packed with unit for more detailed instructions.

carburetor to aid in cold-weather starting. Refer to engine
manual packed with unit for more detailed instructions.
Ignition Key
The ignition key must be inserted and snapped in place
in order for the engine to start. Remove the ignition key to
prevent unauthorized use of equipment. Do NOT attempt
to turn the key.
Recoil Starter
The starter handle is used to manually start the engine.
Electric Starter (If Equipped)
Used to start engine with a 120V power source.
Plug for Electric Start

and a 120V power source.
Spark Plug Cover
Remove spark plug cover to access spark plug.
Auger
When engaged, the augers rotation draws snow into the
auger housing and throws it out the discharge chute.
Rubber paddles on the augers also aid in propelling the
unit as they come in contact with the pavement.
Auger Control Handle
Located on the upper handle, the auger control handle
is used to engage and disengage drive to the auger.
Squeeze the control handle against the upper handle to
engage auger; release it to disengage.
Discharge Chute / Chute Handle
Rotate the discharge chute to the left or right using
chute handle. 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.
Loosen the hand knob on the side of the discharge
chute to adjust. Tilt the chute to the desired position,
and tighten the knob.
Shave Plate
The shave plate maintains contact with pavement as
the snow thrower is propelled, allowing snow close to
pavement’s surface to be discharged.
