Read, understand, and follow 

all instructions and warnings on the machine 
and in this manual before operating.

For detailed starting instructions and more

information on all engine controls, refer to the
Tecumseh Engines manual packed separately and
Starting The Engine on page 10 of this manual.

The shift lever is located on the right side 
of the handle panel. Place the shift lever 
into any of eight positions to control the 
direction of travel and ground speed.

Your snow thrower has six forward (F) 
speeds, with position number one (1) 
being the slowest speed.

Your snow thrower has two reverse (R) 
speeds, with position number one (1) 
being the slower speed.

Unthread the gas cap to add gasoline to 
the fuel tank.

The choke control is found on the rear of the engine and 
is activated by rotating the knob clockwise. Activating 
the choke control closes the choke plate on the 
carburetor and aids in starting the engine.

The throttle control is located on the 
engine. It regulates the speed of the 
engine and will shut off the engine 
when pushed down completely.

Depressing the primer forces fuel 
directly into the engine’s carburetor to 
aid in cold-weather starting.

Engine oil level can be checked and 
oil added through the oil fill.
