The traction control is located on the right handle.  
Squeeze the traction 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 traction control, the operator 
can release the auger control (on the left handle) and 
the augers will remain engaged. Release the traction 
control to stop the augers and wheel drive (the auger 
control must also be released).

  Always release the traction control before 

changing speeds.

The auger control is located on the 
left handle. Squeeze the auger 
control to engage the augers. 
Release to stop the snow throwing 
action. The traction control must also 
be released in order to stop auger.

The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.

The throttle control is located on the engine. It regulates 
the speed of the engine.

The safety ignition key must be fully inserted in the 
switch before the unit will start. Remove key when snow 
thrower is not in use. Do not attempt to turn the key.

The shift lever is located in the center 
of the handle panel and is used to 
determine ground speed and 
direction of travel. It can be moved 
into any of eight positions. 

 Always release traction 

the control before changing speeds. 

Forward: The snow thrower has six 
forward (F) speeds. Position one (1) 
is the slowest and position six (6) is 
the fastest.

Reverse: The snow thrower has two 
reverse (R) speeds—R1 is the slower 
of the two.

The angle of the discharge chute controls the distance 
that the snow is thrown. Tilt the discharge chute up for 
greater distance; tilt down for less distance.

The chute crank is located on the left 
hand side of the snow thrower. Use it 
to change the direction in which snow 
is thrown. Avoid targetting persons, 
animals or cars and buildings.

The distance snow is thrown can be 
changed by adjusting the angle of the 
chute assembly. Move the chute tilt 
control forward to decrease the 
distance, toward the rear to increase. 

The chute clean-out tool is designed to clear a clogged 
discharge chute. Refer to page 10 for instructions on 
how to properly use it.

The heated grips switch is located on the right side of 
the snow thrower handle panel.

•

To activate heated grips, toggle the switch to the 
right to generate heat within the handles. Toggle 
the switch to the left to the OFF position to 
deactivate it.

NOTE:  The Heated Grips are a compliment to, not a
substitute for, proper cold weather outerwear for hands.
It is recommended that the user wear adequate winter
protection for hands (like gloves/mittens) when
operating this snow thrower.

The left and right wheel steering 
controls are located on the underside 
of the handles. 

•

Squeeze the right control to turn right; squeeze the 
left control to turn left. 

NOTE:  Operate the snow thrower in open areas until
you are familiar with these controls.

The skid shoe position is determined by the condition of 
the ground from where snow has to be removed. Higher 
the snow level, lower will be the skid shoe. Adjust it 
accordingly.

Never use your hand to clear a 

clogged discharge chute. Shut off engine and 
remain behind handles until all moving parts 
have stopped before unclogging.
