Snowthrower Operation; Stop Snowthrower; Control Snow Discharge - Craftsman C950-52844-1 Owner's Manual

The operation of any snowthrower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe
eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before beginning snowthrower operation. We recommend
standard safety glasses or Wide Vision Safety Mask over spectacles.

SNOWTHROWER OPERATION

The most effective use of the snowthrower will be established by
experience, taking into consideration the terrain, wind conditions,
and building location which will determine the direction of the
discharge chute.
NOTE: Do not throw snow toward a building as hidden objects
could be thrown with sufficient force to cause damage.

STOP SNOWTHROWER

1. Release the auger control lever (see Figure 8).
NOTE: If the snowthrower continues to slowly move forward, see
"Check and Adjust Auger Control Cable" in the MAINTENANCE
section.
2. Move the ignition switch key to the OFF position to stop the
engine.

CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE

1. Rotate the crank (A, Figure 9) to set the direction (left to right)
of the discharge chute.
2. Loosen the T-knob (B) on the chute deflector and move the de-
flector to set the distance. Move the deflector Up for more dis-
tance, Down for less distance. Then tighten the wing knob.
