NOTE:This Operator's Manual covers several models. Snow
thrower features may vary by model. Not all features in this
manual are applicable to all snow thrower models and the snow
thrower depicted may differ from yours.
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.
AugerControl
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.

ChuteAssembly
Rotate the discharge chute to the left or right using the chute
handle. The pitch of the discharge chute controls the angle at
which the snow is thrown. Loosen the wing knob on the side of
the discharge chute before pivoting the discharge chute upward
or downward. Retighten the knob once the desired position has
been achieved.
ShavePlate
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.
