Auger Control; Ignition Key - Cub Cadet 828 SWE Operator's Manual

Auger Control

The auger control is located on the left handle. Squeeze
the control grip against the handle to engage the augers
and start snow throwing action. Release to stop.
Drive Control / Auger Lock
The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze
the control grip against the handle to engage the wheel
drive. Release to stop.
The drive control also locks the auger control so you can
operate the chute directional control without interrupting
the snow throwing process. If the auger control is en-
gaged prior to, or simultaneously with, the drive control,
the operator can release the auger control (on the left
handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release
both controls to stop the augers and wheel drive.
IMPORTANT: Always release the drive control before
changing speeds.
Chute Tilt Control
The distance snow is thrown can be changed by adjust-
ing the angle of the chute assembly. Move the chute tilt
control forward to decrease the distance, toward the rear
to increase.
Chute Directional Control
The chute directional control is located on the left side of
the snow thrower.
• To change the direction in which snow is thrown,
crank clockwise to discharge to the left and counter-
clockwise to discharge to the right.

Ignition Key

The ignition key must be inserted and snapped in place
in order for the engine to start. Remove the ignition key to
prevent unauthorized use of equipment. Do NOT attempt
to turn the key.
Clean-Out Tool
The clean-out tool is mounted to the rear of the auger
housing and is designed to clear a clogged chute. Refer
to Using Clean-Out Tool later in this section for instruc-
tions on how to properly use it.
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 unclogging.
NOTE: The clean-out tool is fastened to the rear of the
auger housing with a cable tie. Cut the cable tie before
operating the snow thrower.
Skid Shoes
Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions.
Adjust upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward
when operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces.

Operating
Your Snow
Thrower
WARNING
The operation of
any snow thrower
can result in foreign
objects being thrown
into the eyes, which
can damage your
eyes severely. Always
wear safety glasses
while operating the
snow thrower, or while
performing any adjust-
ments or repairs on it.
Be sure no one other
than the operator is
standing near the snow
thrower while starting
engine or operating
snow thrower. Never
run engine indoors or
in enclosed, poorly

gine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly
gas. Keep hands, feet,
hair and loose clothing
away from any moving
parts on engine and
snow thrower.
