IMPORTANT: This unit runs on a mixture of gasoline
and oil. Do NOT operate the snow thrower without first
reading the Tecumseh Engines operator’s manual for

Choke Lever
Activating the choke control closes the choke plate on
the carburetor and aids in starting the engine. Refer to
the engine manual packed with the snow thrower for
more detailed instructions regarding the choke.
Primer
Depressing the primer forces fuel
directly into the engine’s carburetor to
aid in cold-weather starting. Refer to
the engine manual packed with the
snow thrower for more detailed
instructions regarding the primer.
Ignition Key
The ignition key must be present
and placed in the “ON” position for
the engine to start.
Starter Handle
The starter handle is used to start the engine.
Stopping the Engine
• Turn ignition key to OFF position and remove it
from the snow thrower.
Spark Plug Cover
Remove the spark plug cover to access the engine’s
spark plug located beneath it.
Chute Directional Control
Located on right side of dash panel, the chute
directional control determines the direction that snow
will be discharged. Crank it clockwise to discharge
snow to the left; counterclockwise to discharge snow to
the right.
Auger
When engaged, the augers rotation picks up snow that
enters the auger housing and throws it out the
discharge chute. The rubber paddles on the augers
also aid in propelling the snow thrower as they come in
contact with the pavement.
Auger Control Handle
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.
Discharge Chute
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 scrapes along the pavement as the
snow thrower is propelled, allowing the snow close to
the pavement’s surface to be discharged.
