Heated Handles Switch
The heated handles switch is located on the right side
of the snow thrower handle panel. To activate the
heated handles, toggle the switch to the right to
generate heat within the handles. Toggle the heated
handles switch to the left into the OFF position after
using the snow thrower.
The heated handles are a compliment to, not a
substitute for, proper cold weather outerwear for hands.
It is recommended that the user wear adequate winter
protection for hands (like gloves/mittens) when
operating this snow thrower.
Headlight
The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.
Chute Clean-Out Tool
WARNING: Never use your hand to clear a
clogged discharge chute. Shut off engine and
remain behind handles until all moving parts
have stopped before unclogging.
The chute clean-out tool (see Figure 7) is designed to
clear a clogged discharge chute. Refer to Operating Your
Snow Thrower on page 10 for detailed instructions on how
to properly use the chute clean-out tool.
NOTE: This item is fastened with a cable tie to the rear
of the Auger Housing at the factory. Cut the cable tie
before operating the snow thrower.
Ignition Key
The ignition key must be inserted in the switch in order
for the engine to start. Remove the ignition key when
the snow thrower is not in use.
NOTE: Do NOT “turn” the ignition key in an attempt to
start the engine. Doing so may cause it to break.
Fuel Shut-Off Valve (optional equipment)
On models so equipped, the fuel shut-off valve, located
under fuel tank, controls fuel-flow from the gas tank.
See Figure 7.
Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the engine. It regulates
the speed of the engine. See Figure 7.
Skid Shoe
The position of the skid shoe is determined by the
condition of the ground from where snow has to be
removed. See Figure 7.
