Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the rear of the engine. It
regulates the speed of the engine and will shut off the engine
when moved into the STOP position.
Primer
Pressing the primer forces fuel directly
into the engine's carburetor to aid in cold-
weather starting.
Oil Fill
Engine oil level can be checked and oil added through the oil fill.
Oil Drain
Engine oil can be drained through the oil drain.
Muffler
Engine exhaust exits the engine via the muffler.
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.
Electric Starter Outlet
Found on select models, this outlet requires the use of a three-
prong outdoor extension cord and a 120V power source/wall
outlet.
Recoil Starter Handle
This handle is used to manually start the engine.
Electric Starter Button
Found on select models , pressing the electric starter button
engages the engine's electric starter when plugged into a 120V
power source.
Augers
When engaged, the augers rotate and draw snow into the auger
housing.
Chute Assembly
Snow drawn into the auger housing is discharged out the chute
assembly.
Gas Cap
Unthread the gas cap to add gasoline to the fuel tank.
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 Clutch 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.
Note: Always release
the drive control before
changing speeds. Failure
to do so will result in
increased wear on your
machine's drive system.
*On select models, the
drive control also locks
the auger control so
that you can operate the
chute directional control
without interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger
control is engaged 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.
