Operating Tips
1.  Discharge snow downwind whenever possible. 
Slightly overlap each previously cleared path.
2.  Lifting up on the handle will allow the rubber on the 
augers to propel the snow thrower forward. Pushing 
downward on the handle will raise the augers off the 
ground and stop forward motion.
NOTE: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will 
result in premature wear on the rubber auger blades 
which would not be covered by warranty.
3.  Run the engine for a few minutes before stopping to 
help dry any moisture on the engine.
4.  Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
To Stop Engine
1.  To stop engine, turn ignition key counter-clockwise. 
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug 
to prevent accidental starting while equipment is 
unattended.
To help prevent possible freeze-up of starter, 
proceed as follows:
1.  Run engine for a few minutes before stopping to help 
dry off any moisture on the engine.
2. 
Electric Starter (optional): Connect power cord to 
switch box on engine, then to 120 volt AC receptacle. 
With the engine running, push starter button and spin 
the starter for several seconds. The unusual sound 
made by spinning the starter will not harm engine or 
starter. Disconnect the power cord from receptacle 
first, and then from switch box. 
3. 
Recoil Starter: With engine running, pull starter rope 
with a rapid, continuous full arm stroke three or four 
times. Pulling the starter rope will produce a loud clatter-
ing sound, which is not harmful to the engine or starter.
4.  Wipe all snow and moisture from the carburetor cover 
in the area of the control levers. Also, move control 
levers back and forth several times. Leave choke 
control in the FULL choke position.
5.  Remove ignition key and disconnect spark plug wire to 
prevent accidental starting. 
Operating the Snow Thrower
The pitch of the chute assembly controls the angle at 
which the snow is thrown. Adjust the chute assembly by 
following the instructions below. 
1.  Loosen the wing knob found on the left side of the 
chute assembly and pivot the upper chute upward or 
downward to the desired pitch. Retighten the wing 
knob before operating the snow thrower.
2.  Position the chute assembly opening by using the 
Chute Handle to throw the snow in the desired direc-
tion. See Figure 6.
 IMPORTANT: 
For complete and 
detailed engine 
starting, stopping and 
storing instructions,  
it is recommended  
that you read the

NOTE: 
Excessive upward 
pressure on the  
handle will result in
