 NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with 

standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox 
or other components as a result of doing so will NOT be 
covered by your snow thrower’s warranty.

Disconnect spark plug wire

and ground it against the engine to prevent
unintended starting.

NOTE:  All references to right or left side of the snow
thrower are determined from behind the unit in the
operating position. The “operator’s position” is defined
as standing directly behind the snow thrower, facing the
handle panel.

Disconnect the spark plug

wire and ground it against the engine to
prevent unintended starting.

•

Remove the lower two plastic wing nuts, cupped 
washers and carriage bolt (eyebolt on the left side) 
from the lower handle. See Figure 1.

•

Raise the upper handle assembly until it aligns with 
lower handle.

•

Be sure both cables are aligned with cable roller 
guides located in the lower rear of snow thrower 
frame. 

•

Secure the upper handle and lower handle with the 
plastic wing nuts, cupped washers, and carriage 
bolt (eyebolt on the left side) previously removed.

•

Adjust the eyebolt on the chute directional control 
so the control rod does not come into contact with 
the engine by moving the hex nut against the 
handle (if necessary). 

•

Retighten the wing nut to secure the chute 
directional control in this position. See Figure 2.

•

Slide the shift rod connector down over the end of 
the lower shift rod. Tap the top of connector until it 
locks on the lower shift rod.

•

Wrap the wire from the lamp down the right handle 
until the wire can be plugged into the alternator lead 
wire located under the fuel tank. See Figure 3. 

Lamp wire must not interfere with any 

controls or cables.
