ELECTRIC STARTER OUTLET
Requires the use of a three-prong outdoor extension cord (included)
and a 120V power source/wall outlet.
KEY
The key is a safety device. It must be fully inserted in order for the
engine to start. Remove the key when the snow thrower is not in use.
NOTE: Do not turn the key in an attempt to start the engine. Doing so
may cause it to break.
AUGERS
When engaged, the auger blades rotate and draw snow into the auger
housing.
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.
DRIFT CUTTERS
The drift cutters are designed for use in deep snow. Their use is
optional for normal snow conditions. Maneuver the snow thrower so
that the cutters penetrate a high standing snow drift to assist snow
falling into the augers for throwing.
HEADLIGHT
The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.
WHEEL STEERING CONTROLS
The left and right wheel steering controls are located on the underside
of the handles. Squeeze the right control to turn right; squeeze the left
control to turn left.
NOTE: Operate the snow thrower in open areas until you are familiar
with these controls.

DRIVE
CONTROL
The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the control
grip against the handle to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop.
The drive control also locks the auger control so 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.
NOTE: Always release the drive control before changing speeds.
Failure to do so will result in increased wear on your machine's drive
system.
