Avoid accidental starting. Make sure 

you are in the operating position behind the snow 

thrower when using it. To avoid serious injury, the 

operator and unit should be in a stable position 

while starting.

This snow thrower should be operated 

on a 15 or 20 AMP circuit. If you experience difficulty 

in starting with a standard 15 AMP fuse or circuit 

breaker, contact an authorized service dealer. Do not 

use a higher rated fuse or breaker without 

consulting your power company.

NOTE: Connect your extension cord to the snow thrower as 

instructed in the Assembly & Set-Up section prior to plugging 

your extension cord into an electrical outlet.
1. 

Plug your extension cord into any convenient (indoor or 

outdoor) 120-volt, 60 hertz AC outlet or receptacle. Your 

snow thrower will operate satisfactorily on a circuit with a 

15 ampere breaker.
NOTE: To avoid tripping circuit breakers, select an outlet 

on a circuit that is not overloaded. Do NOT select an outlet 

that is on a circuit hosting appliances such as a refrigerator.

2. 

Insert key. Refer to Figure 5-1.

3. 

Stand behind the snow thrower in the operating position.

4. 

Press the red starter button and hold it in. See Figure 5-1.
NOTE: Starting the snow thrower’s motor also engages  

the auger.

5. 

While holding the starter button in, squeeze the motor 

control lever against the upper handle to start the motor 

and engage the auger. See Figure 5-1.
NOTE: The snow thrower’s motor will NOT start if you fail to 

hold the starter button in while pivoting the motor control 

handle upward.

6. 

Release the red starter button.

The auger continues to rotate for a few 

seconds after the motor is shut off. If motor does not 

come to a stop when the motor control handle is 

released, unplug the snow thrower from the outlet, 

and contact an authorized service dealer.

Release the motor control lever to stop the motor and auger.

Lift up slightly on the handle to allow the rubber paddles on the 

auger to contact the pavement and propel the snow thrower 

forward. Pushing downward on the handle will raise the auger 

off the ground and stop the forward motion.
NOTE: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will result 

in premature wear on the rubber auger blades which are not 

covered by the warranty.

The pitch of the chute assembly controls the angle at which the 

snow is thrown.
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. See Figure 5-2.
