the separate Tecumseh Engine Operator's Manual.

The shift lever is located in the right side of the handle panel and
is used to determine ground speed and direction of travel.

There are six forward (F) speeds. Position one (1) is the slowest
and position six (6) is the fastest.

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

The ignition key is a safety devise. It must
be fully inserted in order for the engine to
start. Remove the ignition key when the
snow thrower is not in use.
Note: Do not turn the ignition key in an
attempt to start the engine. Doing so may
cause it to break.

There are two reverse (R) speeds. One (1) is the slower and two (2)
is the faster.
