WARNING! Read, understand, and follow all
instructions and warnings on the machine and in
this manual before operating.
Motor Control Lever
WARNING! The motor control lever is a safety
device. Never attempt to bypass its operations.
The motor control lever is located on the upper handle. The motor
control lever engages and disengages the motor and auger.
Key
The key is a safety device. It must be fully inserted in order for the
motor to start. Remove the key when the snow thrower is not in use.
Chute Handle
Rotate the discharge chute left or right using the chute handle.
Strain Reliever
The strain reliever is located on the middle handle of the snow
thrower. The strain reliever reduces strain on the extension cord
so that it does not come unplugged during operation.
Auger
When engaged, the auger rotation draws snow into the auger
housing and throws it out the discharge chute. Rubber paddles
on the auger also aid in propelling the snow thrower as they
come in contact with the pavement.
Starter Button
The starter button is located on the upper handle of the snow
thrower. Engaging the motor control lever with the starter
button pressed will start the snow thrower.
Discharge Chute
The pitch of the discharge chute controls the angle at which the
snow is thrown. Loosen the wing knob on the side of the discharge
chute before pivoting the discharge chute upward or downward.
Retighten the knob once the desired position has been achieved.
Circuit Breaker Reset Button
The snow thrower is equipped with an circuit breaker reset
button, located on the motor control. This button may pop
out when too much strain is placed on the motor. Refer to the
Maintenance & Adjustments Section to reset this button.
