_ ARNING: Read Owner's
Manual before operating
machine. Never direct dis-
charge toward bystanders. Stop the
engine before unclogging discharge
chute or auger housing and before
leaving the machine.
TO STOP THE SNOW THROWER
1. To stop throwing snow, release the
auger drive lever. See Figure 2.
NOTE: If the snow thrower contin-
ues to slowly move forward, see
"Adjust Auger Control Cable" in the
Service And Adjustment Section.
2. To stop the engine, move the igni-
tion key to the OFF/STOP position.
TO CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE
1. Turn the chute control rod to set the
direction of the snow throwing.
2. Loosen the wing knob on the chute
deflector and move the deflector to
set the distance. Move the deflector
(Up) for more distance, (Down) for
less distance. Then tighten the
wing knob (See Figure 3).
_ ARNING: The operation of
any snow thrower can result
in foreign objects being
thrown into the eyes, which can re-
sult in severe eye damage. Always
wear safety glasses or eye shields
while operating the snow thrower.
We recommend standard safety
glasses or use a wide vision safety
mask over your glasses.
HOW TO MOVE FORWARD
1. Hold the auger drive lever against
the handle (See Figure 4). The au-
ger will begin rotating.
2. To go forward, raise the handle to
allow the rubber auger blades to
contact the ground. Maintain a firm
hold on the handle as the snow
thrower starts to move forward.
Guide the snow thrower by moving
the handle either left or right. Do
not attempt to push the snow throw-
er.
3. To stop, release the auger drive le-
ver.
NOTE: If the auger continues to rotate,
see "How To Adjust The Auger Control
Cable" in the Service and Adjustments
section.
