Operating 
Your Snow 
Thrower
NOTE: Use slower 
speeds in higher 
snow and/or until you 
are familiar with the 
snow thrower opera-
IMPORTANT
NEVER move the 
shift lever without first 
releasing the wheel 
drive control. Doing so 
will cause premature 
wear on the drive 
system’s friction wheel.
The muffler, engine 
and surrounding 
areas become hot 
and can cause a burn  
150°F (65°C). Do not 
touch.
To Engage Drive
1.  With the engine running near top speed, move 
shift lever to one of six FORWARD positions or two 
REVERSE positions. Select a speed appropriate for 
the snow conditions that exist.
2.  Squeeze drive control against the right handle and 
the snow thrower will move. Release it and the drive 
motion will stop.
To Engage Augers 
1.  To engage augers and start snow throwing, squeeze 
the left hand auger control against the left handle. 
Release to stop augers.
2.  While the auger control is engaged, squeeze the drive 
control to move, release to stop. Do not shift speeds 
while the drive is engaged.
NOTE: This same lever also locks auger control so you 
can turn the chute control without interrupting the snow 
throwing process.
3.  Release the auger control; the interlock mechanism 
should keep the auger control engaged until the drive 
control is released.
4.  Release the drive control to stop both the augers and 
the wheel drive. To stop the auger, both levers must 
be released.
Operating Tips
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes. 
The engine will not develop full power until it reaches 
operating temperature.
WARNING: The temperature of the 
muffler and the surrounding areas may 
exceed 150° F (65° C). Avoid these 
areas.
1.  If possible, remove snow immediately after it falls.
2.  Discharge snow downwind whenever possible. 
3.  Slightly overlap each previous path.
4.  Set the skid shoes 1/4” below the shave plate for 
normal usage. Adjust them upward for hard-packed 
snow and downward when using on gravel or crushed 
rock.
