front of the unit, engage the auger drive clutch

the right handle. As the snow thrower starts to
move, maintain a firm hold on the handle, and

Operating Tips
1. For most efficient snow removal, remove snow im­
mediately after it falls.
2. Discharge snow downwind whenever possible.
Slightly overlap each previous swath.
3. Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the scraper bar for
normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted up­
ward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward (rais­
ing the scraper bar) when using on gravel or
uneven surfaces.
4. Be certain to follow the precautions listed under
“To Stop Engine” on page 12 to prevent possible
freeze-up.
5. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
