Discharge Chute Deflector
ALWAYS position discharge chute deflector 
at a safe angle before starting engine.
DO NOT throw snow any higher than 
necessary.
Pull chute deflector handle upward to throw 
snow lower. Push chute deflector handle 
downward to throw snow higher.
IMPORTANT: If chute deflector does not stay 
in set position, adjust (see Discharge Chute 
Deflector Adjustment
 on page 16),
 or repair

Handlebar Height Adjustment
Adjust handlebar height by selecting the 
appropriate handlebar height adjustment 
holes. Tighten handlebar wing knobs to 
secure upper handlebar to lower handlebar.
NOTE: The upper handlebar can be folded 
for storage.
Scraper Blade
The scraper blade allows the back of the 
housing to keep better contact with the 
surface being cleared. It also prevents 
damage to the housing from normal wear.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow scraper blade to 
wear down too far or auger housing will 
become damaged.
FILLING FUEL TANK
IMPORTANT: Two cycle engines require that 
oil be mixed with fuel. Failure to mix oil with 
fuel will result in seizure and severe damage 
to engine. DO NOT use gasohol or gasoline 
containing alcohol. See Engine Manual for 
correct type of fuel/oil mixture.
1. ALWAYS place unit in open or well- 
ventilated area.
2. Stop engine and allow to cool.
3. Clean fuel cap and surrounding area to 
prevent dirt from entering fuel tank. 
4. Remove fuel cap.
IMPORTANT: See Engine Manual for proper 
fuel/oil mixture. Fuel/oil mixture left standing 
for prolonged periods will begin to separate; 
thoroughly shake fuel/oil mixture before use.
NOTE: See Specifications on page 20 for fuel 
tank capacity.
5. Fill fuel tank with fuel/oil mixture.
6. Replace fuel cap and tighten.
7. ALWAYs clean up any spilled fuel.
