Engine Controls
See the Engine Operator's Manual for the location and function
of the controls on the engine.
Auger
When engaged, the auger rotation draws snow into the auger
housing and throws it out the discharge chute. Rubber paddles
on the auger also aid in propelling the snow thrower as they
come in contact with the pavement.
Auger Control
Located on the upper handle, the auger control is used to
engage and disengage drive to the auger. Squeeze the control
against the upper handle to engage the auger; release it to
disengage.

Chute Rotation Control
The chute rotate control is located in the center of the control panel
and controls the direction snow is thrown. Depress the button and
rotate the chute rotation control to the right to turn the chute to the
right and rotate to the left to turn the chute to the left.
Shave Plate
The shave plate maintains contact with the pavement as
the snow thrower is propelled, allowing snow close to the
pavement's surface to be discharged.
Recoil Starter Handle
The recoil starter handle is used to manually start the engine.
Drift Cutters (if so equipped)
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.
