Drive Trigger (Right-Handle) (Fig. 17)
Squeeze the drive trigger against the right-handle to engage
the wheel drive for propelling unit. Forward speed will vary
according to snow depth and moisture content.
NOTE: When travelling to or from the area to be cleared, press
down on the handle grips enough to raise the front of the
unit slightly o the surface. Engage the drive trigger without
engaging the auger trigger.
Chute Clean-Out Tool
The chute clean-out tool is fastened to the top of the auger
housing with a mounting clip (Fig. 18).
mWARNING! Hand contact with the rotating impeller
is the most common cause of injury associated with snow
blowers. Never use your hands to clear a clogged discharge
chute. Shut o motor and remain behind handles until all
moving parts have stopped before unclogging.
To clear the discharge chute:
1. Release both the auger trigger and the drive trigger.
2. Wait 10 seconds and make sure impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Remove the clean-out tool from the mounting clip which
secures it to the top of the auger housing.
4. Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to
dislodge and scoop any snow and ice which has formed
in and near the discharge chute.
5. Refasten the clean-out tool to mounting clip on the top of
the auger housing, ip up the safety switch and restart the
snow blower’s motor.
While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow
blower), engage the auger trigger for a few seconds to clear
any remaining snow and ice from the discharge chute.
Scraper Blade
The scraper blade allows the back of the housing to keep
better contact with the surface being cleared. It also prevents
damage to the housing from normal use.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT allow scraper blade to wear too far or
auger/impeller housing will become damaged.
Skid Shoes
The skid shoes control the distance between the scraper blade
and the ground. Adjust skid shoes equally to keep blade level
with the ground.
Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust
upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when
operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces.
mWARNING! It is not recommended that you operate this
snow blower on gravel as it can easily pick up and throw loose
gravel, causing personal injury or damage to the snow blower
and surrounding property.
1. For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid
shoes higher on the auger housing. Allow 1/8 in. (3 mm)
between scraper blade and hard, smooth surface(s).
2. Use a middle or lower position when the area to be
cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway. Allow
1-1/4 in. (30 mm) between scraper blade and uneven or
gravel surfaces.
NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow blower on a
gravel surface, keep the skid shoes in position for maximum
clearance between the ground and the scraper blade.
To adjust the skid shoes:
3. Use the 13 mm open end wrench to loosen the 4 hex nuts
(2 on each side). Move skid shoes to desired position
(Fig. 19).
4. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoes
is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid
shoes.
