Auger
When engaged, the augers rotation draws snow into the auger
housing and throws it out the discharge chute. Rubber paddles
on the augers also aid in propelling the snow thrower as they
come in contact with the pavement.
Auger Control
Located on the upper handle, the auger control handle is used
to engage and disengage drive to the auger. Squeeze the control
handle against the upper handle to engage the auger; release it
to disengage.
Chute Assembly
Rotate the discharge chute to the left or right using the chute
handle. The pitch of the discharge chute controls the angle at
which the snow is thrown. Loosen the wing knob on the side of
the discharge chute before pivoting the discharge chute upward
or downward. Retighten the knob once the desired position has
been achieved.
Shave Plate
The shave plate maintains contact with the pavement as
the snow thrower is propelled, allowing snow close to the
pavement’s surface to be discharged.
Electric Starter Outlet
The electric starter outlet requires the use of a three-prong
outdoor extension cord and a 120V power source/wall outlet.
NOTE: The electric starter is mounted to the plastic shroud and is
shown in Fig. 4-1 attached to the engine for easier reference.
Electric Starter Button
Pressing the electric starter button engages the engine’s electric
starter when plugged into a 120V power source.
