Auger and Drive Controls
1. To engage the auger, press down on the
auger control handle (left side handle).
2. To engage the drive, press down on the drive
control handle (right side handle). The
machine should start moving in the direction
and speed that the speed control lever is set
to.
3. When finished clearing a snow path, release
the auger control handle and the drive control
handle.
Note: Release (disengage) the auger and
drive control handles before adjusting the
drive speed control lever. Never change the
drive speed while your snow thrower is
moving, it could damage the drive
mechanism and void the warranty.
Drive Speed Control Lever
Move the drive speed control lever to the desired
speed. There are six (6) settings: four (4) forward
speeds and two (2) reverse speeds. 1 is the
slowest forward speed and 4 is the fastest
forward speed. R1 is the slowest reverse speed
and R2 is the fastest reverse speed.
Note: There is no neutral drive setting since
the drive control handle must be engaged for
movement. Neutral is achieved when the
drive control handle is disengaged.
Chute Discharge Direction
Adjustment
WARNING - Never direct the snow discharge
chute at the operator, bystanders, vehicles or
nearby windows. Discharged snow and foreign
objects accidentally picked up by the Snow
Thrower can cause serious damage and severe
bodily injury. Always point the discharge chute in
the opposite direction from potential hazards.
The discharge chute can be adjusted 180º by
rotating the chute rotation handle. Rotate the
chute rotation handle clockwise to move the
discharge chute to the left; counterclockwise to
move the chute to the right.
