Know Your Snow Thrower

Choke Control

The choke control is found on the rear of the engine and
is activated by rotating the knob clockwise. Activating the
choke control closes the choke plate on the carburetor
and aids in starting the engine.

Throttle Control

The throttle control is located on the
engine. It regulates the speed of the
engine and will shut off the engine when
pushed down completely.

Primer

Depressing the primer forces fuel directly
into the engine’s carburetor to aid in
cold-weather starting.

Oil Fill

Engine oil level can be checked and oil
added through the oil fill.

WARNING

Read, understand,
and follow all instruc-
tions and warnings
on the machine and
in this manual before
operating.

Use extreme care
when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely flammable
and the vapors are
explosive. Never fuel
the machine indoors
or while the engine
is hot or running.
Extinguish cigarettes,
cigars, pipes and
other sources of
ignition.
