Auger Control Test
IMPORTANT: Perform the following test before operating the snow
thrower for the first time and at the start of each winter season.

control in the disengaged "up" position, walk to the front of the
machine.
6. Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating and shows

return to the operator's position and shut off the engine. Wait for all
moving parts to stop before readjusting the auger control cable as
instructed in the Maintenance & Service section of this manual.
