Electric Chute-Rotation Switch
The electric chute-rotation switch is located on the left
side of the snow thrower handle panel.
To change the direction in which discharged snow is
thrown, proceed as follows:
Push the toggle switch to the left to rotate the chute
counterclockwise.
Push the toggle switch to the right to rotate the
chute clockwise.
IMPORTANT:
Release the switch once the chute has
completed its rotation cycle in either direction. Failure to
do so can result in damage to the electric chute motor
and/or its drive gear.
Wheel Steering Controls
The left and right wheel steering controls are located on
the underside of the handles and are used to assist in
steering the snow thrower. Squeeze the right wheel
steering control when turning right; squeeze the left
control when turning left. Operate snow thrower in open
areas until you become familiar with these controls.
Stay Warm Grips Switch
The Stay Warm grips switch is located on the right side
of the snow thrower handle panel. To activate the Stay
Warm grips, toggle the switch to the right to generate
heat within the handles. Toggle the switch to the left
into the OFF position after using the snow thrower.
NOTE: The Stay Warm grips 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.
Chute Tilt Control
The distance snow is thrown can be changed by
adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Move the
chute tilt control forward to decrease the distance,
toward the rear to increase.
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.
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 7 for details.
Fuel Shut-off Valve
The fuel shut-off valve is located 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 10.
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. See Figure 10.
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.
