Operating
Your Snow
Thrower
WARNING
The operation of
any snow thrower
can result in foreign
objects being thrown
into the eyes, which
can damage your
eyes severely. Always
wear safety glasses
while operating the
snow thrower, or while
performing any adjust-
ments or repairs on it.
Be sure no one other
than the operator is
standing near the snow
thrower while starting
engine or operating
snow thrower. Never
run engine indoors or
in enclosed, poorly
ventilated areas. En-
gine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly
gas. Keep hands, feet,
hair and loose clothing
away from any moving
parts on engine and
snow thrower.
Auger Control

the auger control to engage the augers. Release to stop
the snow throwing action. The drive control must also be
released in order to stop auger.

Drive Control / Auger Control Lock
The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze
the drive control to engage the wheel drive. Release to
stop.
This same lever also locks the auger control so you
can operate the chute crank without interrupting the
snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged
simultaneously with the drive control, the operator can
release the auger control (on the left handle) and the
augers will remain engaged. Release the drive control to
stop the augers and wheel drive (the auger control must
also be released).
IMPORTANT: NEVER reposition the shift lever (change
speeds or direction of travel) without first releasing the
drive control and bringing the snow thrower to a complete
stop. Doing so will result in premature wear to the snow
thrower’s drive system.
