Auger
When engaged, the auger blades rotate and draw snow into the auger housing.
Chute Assembly
Snow drawn into the auger housing is discharged out the chute assembly.
Skid Shoes
Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust upward for hard-packed
snow. Adjust downward when operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces.
LED Light Bar
The LED light bar is located on top of the auger housing and is automatically turned
ON when the engine is started.
Drift Cutters
The drift cutters are designed for use in deep snow. Their use is optional for normal
snow conditions. Maneuver the snow thrower so that the cutters penetrate a high
standing snow drift to assist snow falling into the augers for throwing.

DRIVE
CONTROL
The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the control grip against the
handle to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop.
The drive control also locks the auger control so you can operate the chute
directional control without interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger
control is engaged simultaneously with the drive control, the operator can release
the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release
both controls to stop the augers and wheel drive.
NOTE: Always release the drive control before changing speeds. Failure to do so will
result in increased wear on your machine's drive system.
