Engaging the Drive
Lift up slightly on the handle to allow the rubber paddles on the
auger to contact the pavement and propel the snow thrower
forward. Pushing downward on the handle will raise the auger
off the ground and stop the forward motion.
NOTE: Excessive upward pressure on the handle will result
in premature wear on the rubber auger blades which will
not be covered by the warranty.
Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
WARNING!
Never use your hands to clear a
clogged chute assembly. Shut off engine and remain
behind handles until all moving parts have stopped
before using a clean-out tool to clear the chute
assembly.
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snow
throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the discharge chute.
To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool or stick, not your hands.
Chute Controls
Refer to Fig. 5-2 for chute controls.
