Auger Control Test
Perform the following test before operating your snow 
thrower for the first time and at the start of each winter.
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
1.  When the auger control is released and in the 
disengaged “up” position, the cable should have very 
little slack. It should NOT be tight.
2.  In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower 
engine as instructed on the previous page.
3.  While standing in the operator’s position (behind the 
snow thrower), engage the auger. 
4.  Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately 
ten (10) seconds before releasing the auger control. 
Repeat this several times. 
5.  With the auger control in the disengaged “up” posi-
tion, walk to the front of the machine.
6.  Confirm that the auger has completely stopped 
rotating and shows NO signs of motion. If the auger 
shows ANY signs of rotating, immediately return to 
the operator’s position and shut off the engine. Wait 
for ALL moving parts to stop before re-adjusting the 
auger control.
7.  To readjust the control cable, loosen the upper hex  
nut on the auger cable bracket. See Figure 4-2.
8.  Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or 
downward to increase cable tension).
9.  Retighten the upper hex nut. 
10. Repeat Auger Control Test to verify proper adjustment 
has been achieved.
Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. 
Check the tire pressure before operating the snow 
thrower. Refer to the tire side wall for tire manufacturer’s 
recommended psi and deflate (or inflate) the tires as 
necessary.
NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the 
unit may not travel in a straight path and the shave plate 
may wear unevenly.
When selecting a 
Drive Speed, use the 
slower speeds until 
you are comfortable 
and familiar with the 
operation of the snow 
thrower.
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.
WARNING
The muffler, engine 
and surrounding 
areas become hot 
and can cause a burn  
150°F (65°C).  Do not 
touch.
