Use and Care Manual

AUGER
When engaged, the augers rotate and pull snow into
the auger housing.
DISCHARGE CHUTE
Snow drawn into the auger housing is discharged out
the discharge chute.
CHUTE CLEAN-OUT TOOL
The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to
the rear of the auger housing with a mounting clip.
Should snow and ice become lodged in the discharge
chute during operation, proceed as follows to safely
clean the discharge chute and chute opening:
Release the auger clutch lever and shut off the engine.
Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which
secures it to the rear of the auger housing.
Grasp the tool rmly by the handle and push and twist the
tool into the discharge chute to dislodge the blockage.
Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on
the rear of the auger housing.
Make sure the discharge chute is pointed in a safe
direction (no vehicles, buildings, people, or other
objects are in the direction of discharge). Restart
the engine. While standing in the operator’s position
(behind the snow blower), engage the auger control
for a few seconds to clear any remaining snow and ice
from the auger housing and the discharge chute.
FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE
Always operate the snow blower with the fuel shut-off
valve in the OPEN position. Close the valve when you do
not use the machine.
CHOKE CONTROL
The choke control is used to choke the carburetor
and assist in starting the engine. The choke control
switches between the CHOKE CLOSED and
CHOKE OPEN positions.
PRIMER
Press the primer to pump additional fuel from the
carburetor to the cylinder for improved cold weather
starting. Do not push primer more than 3 times when
starting engine cold.
RECOIL STARTER HANDLE

primed engine when start button (120V AC) is pushed.
To start the machine, connect the electric starter to
an electric power source with an approved extension
cord and press the start button.

Never use choke to stop engine.
Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before
using the machine. If the cord is damaged, do
not operate the machine. Replace or repair the
damaged cord immediately.

plug-in rst and then to a power outlet; disconnect
the extension cord from the power outlet rst and
then from the machine.
To prevent damaging the electric starter, do not
run it more than 5 continuous seconds each time
you try to start. Wait 10 seconds between each
attempt.
HEADLIGHT
HEATED HAND GRIPS
The headlight provides added safety in
low-visibility conditions. Turn the headlight
switch to the ON position to activate.
To activate the heated grips, move the
switch into ON position.
Somehow, we need to keep this with the Shear Pins
section. This is probably the most important section
for people to read, as it is something they will need to
do semi-frequently
