Engine Controls
of the controls on the engine.
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.
Auger Control
Located on the upper handle, the auger control is used to
engage and disengage drive to the auger. Squeeze the control
against the upper handle to engage the auger; release it to
disengage.
Chute Assembly
EZ Chute (If so equipped)
Rotate the discharge chute to the left or right using the chute
handle. 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.
Low-Crank Chute Assembly (If so equipped)
Rotate the discharge chute to the left or right using the chute
rotation control. 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.
Shave Plate
The shave plate maintains contact with the pavement as
the snow thrower is propelled, allowing snow close to the
pavement’s surface to be discharged.
