STARTING
1. Move the choke lever to START position (Left side).
2. Press the primer bulb 3 times.
3. Insert switch key into slot (Do not turn switch key).
4. Pull on the recoil starter handle slowly until a slight
resistance is felt, then pull quickly to start the engine.
Return cord gently into the recoil starter. Never allow the
cord to snap back.
5. If engine fails to start, repeat step 4. NOTE: After
repeated failed attempts to start the engine, please
consult the troubleshooting guide before attempting
again. If problems persist, please call USA (800)
791-9458 M-F 9-5 EST or Canada (888) 980-4937 M-F 9-5 EST.
6. Once the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever all the way to the “RUN” position (Right
side).
7. Allow the engine to run for several minutes before using snow thrower.
CLEARING SNOW
Once your Snow Thrower has been running outside for several minutes, it is now ready for use. Make
sure the path in front of your Snow Thrower is free from people, animals, objects, and all other
obstructions except for snow.
Adjust the chute outlet to the desired direction.
Turn the chute rotation handle clockwise or counter-clockwise until the desired position is reached.
WARNING! Never direct the chute outlet toward people or animals. While snow may seem harmless, it
can contain rocks or other debris that can cause serious injury when projected through the chute.
1. Engage/depress the auger control handle to start the augers and impeller turning.
2. Set the desired direction and speed using the speed control lever.
3. Engage/depress the drive control handle and direct the snow thrower into the snow to be cleared.
NOTICE: Do not change speed positions while the drive is engaged. Disengage the drive control
handle BEFORE changing speeds or directions. If the snow is deeper than the height of the auger, remove
it in several steps taking narrower swaths. Make several passes with the auger overlapping the cleared
areas and reduce forward speed.
For the best clearing efficiency, clear snow before it melts, refreezes and hardens. Hard packed and wet
snow can be very difficult to clear.
Clearing wet heavy snow can be a challenge, depending on ambient temperature, humidity levels, and
overall climate conditions including actual snow conditions, there may be no 100% solution as snow may
be too wet or compacted to move or throw. Wet snow will tend to clog and stick more to the augers and
chute. Keep the auger engaged as much as possible when clearing wet snow to help prevent clogging.
WARNING! If snow is filled with foreign material, damage to the snow thrower may result. Avoid snow
with foreign materials.
STOPPING
1. Pull out the switch key to stop the engine. Keep in a safe place. Must be reinserted to start the engine.
2. Remove snow from all Snow Thrower surfaces including the auger housing and chute areas.
