THE CONTROLS AND HOW TO USE THEM
Visualize yourself standing at the operators position by
looking at figure 1,
Before starting the engine let's learn
how you can use these controls all within easy reach to
SIMPLIFY your snow moving problem.
You are safely
behind the handles away from
all moving parts even for
starting.
Your Sno-Away is one of the very few snow
throwers with this convenience and safety. (The numbers
on the figure correspond to the paragraph numbers below].
1.
THE ENGINE SPEED CONTROL - is the most com
venient way to control throwing distance - it is at your fin¬
ger tips.
It also can bo used to control speed over the
ground. Push it forward to increase throwing distance (up
to 3QJ) and ground speed up to 1Y5 MPK. Pull it all of the
way back to stop the engine. The control is freeze proof so
it always works. Set it at the lowest speed for satisfactory
throwing distance - there will be much less powdery snow in
the air.
2,
TRANSMISSION CONTROL LEVER - Select either
high or low speed forward, neutral, or reverse, in the all
gear transmission of your Sno-Away. The shift pattern is
diown by the decal on top of the handle panel.
The shift
sector at the rear of the transmission has notches to keep
your Sno-Away transmission in the position you have se¬
lected. To shift out of any position raise the handle slightly
and then rotate it to the desired position.
USE HIGH GEAR (Down and to the right) for trails
porting to the snow removal area. Also use it when light
snow is up to 4" deep and heavy snow is up to Z" deep,
USE LOW GEAR (Up and to the right) for light deep
snow, and heavy snow over 2" deep.
CAUTION:
The Touch-O-Matic trigger must be released
while shifting.
NOTE:
It may be necessary occasionally to squeeze the
Touch-O-Matic trigger momentarily and release it before the
shift lover will travel fully into gear.
3.
THE TOUC H-Q-M AT IC TRIGGERS a true safety
feature.
If you should slip and fall, your hand comes off
the trigger and the Sno-Away stops instantly in either fort
ward or reverse.
Rest your left hand on the handle and squeeze the
trigger upward gently to start traireL Squeezing it further
upward increases the travel speed.
This control, together
with gear selection, should be used to adjust travel speed
so engine speed control can be used to control throw¬
ing distance.
The Touch-O-Matic trigger should also be used for
inching into heavy drifts - it is designed to withstand slip¬
ping.
4.
THE AUGER CONTROL LEVER starts and stops
the auger rotation independently of any other drive. Your
Sno-Away is one of the few snow throwers which lets you
run the traction drive without running the auger.
NOTE;
The speed control lever should be at least half
way forward before engaging the auger drive.
Pull the lever all of the way up to run the auger. Push
down to stop the auger. NOTE: Your Sno-Away should
always be operated with this drive either fully engaged or
fully disengaged, (All of the way up or down].
5.
THE DISCHARGE SPOUT CONTROL is an exclus¬
ive design using aircraft cable and a "T" handle rod- You
can break loose a frozen Sno-Away spout by rotating the
"T'T handle.
Rotate the handle clockwise (top to the right) to dis¬
charge snow to the right. Throw snow down wind wherever
possible to keep airborne snow away from you.
ALL OF THE CONTROLS WE HAVE JUST DIS¬
CUSSED ARE FOR USE WHILE YOUR SNO-AWAY IS
IN OPERATION.
There arc two other controls for added convenience
which must BE ADJUSTED ONLY WITH THE MACHINE
STOPPED.
Let's go to the front of the
Sno-Away by
looking at Figure 2^3 ,

THE CHUTE DEFLECTOR POSITION can be adjust¬
ed by loosening the wing nuts and moving the deflector up
