TO CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE
1. Turn the chute control rod to set the direction of the snow throwing.
2. Loosen the wing knob on the chute deflector and move the
deflector to set the distance. Move the deflector (Up) for more
distance, (Down) for less distance. Then tighten the wing knob.
(See Figure 7)
HOW TO THROW SNOW
1. Engage the auger drive lever.
2. To stop throwing snow, release the auger drive lever.
WARNING: The operation of any snow thrower can result in foreign objects being thrown into
the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields while
operating the snow thrower. We recommend standard safety glasses or use a wide vision safety mask
over your glasses.
HOW TO MOVE FORWARD
1. Hold the auger drive lever against the handle (See Figure 8). The auger will begin rotating.
2. To go forward, raise the handle to allow the rubber auger blades to contact the ground. Maintain a firm
hold on the handle as the snow thrower starts to move forward. Guide the
snow thrower by moving the handle either left or right. Do not attempt to
push the snow thrower.
3. To stop, release the auger drive lever.
NOTE:
If the auger continues to rotate, see “How To Adjust The
Auger Control Cable” in the Service and Adjustments section.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Before you service or start the engine, familiarize yourself with the snow thrower. Be sure you understand
the function and location of all controls.
2. Be sure that all fasteners are tight.
3. Before starting the engine, make sure all controls operate correctly.
To Add Oil
NOTE:
Engine may already contain some residual oil. Check frequently when filling the crankcase. DO NOT
overfill.
The snow thrower was shipped with a container of 5W30 motor oil. This oil must be added to the engine before
operating.
1. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick access panel.
2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe with a clean cloth.
3. Insert the oil fill cap/dipstick and turn clockwise to tighten.
4. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and check the oil.
5. If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL mark on the oil fill cap/dipstick (see Figure 9). Do not add
too much oil.
