snow thrower. To change the direction in which snow
is thrown, turn chute crank as follows:
turn clockwise to discharge to the left;
turn counterclockwise
to discharge to the right.

The throttle control is located on the engine. It
regulates the speed of the engine.
Safety Ignition Switch
The ignition key must be inserted into the switch for
the unit to start. Remove the ignition key when the
snow thrower is not in use.

underside of the handles and are used to assist in
steering your snow thrower. Squeeze the right turn
trigger when turning right, squeeze the left turn trigger
when turning left. Operate your snow thrower in open
areas until you become familiar with these controls.

engaged with the traction drive control engaged, you
can release the auger control (on the left handle) and
the augers will remain engaged. Release the traction
drive control to stop both the augers and the track
drive. (Auger control must also be released).

The distance that snow is thrown can be adjusted by
adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Move the
chute distance control forward to decrease the
distance, toward the rear to increase the distance.

the snow thrower and is used to select the position of
the housing and the method of track operation. See
