Lamp Wiring

(If Equipped)

NOTE: A lamp is an optional feature of some model
snow throwers and is NOT standard equipment. On
models so equipped, a lamp will either be installed on
the dash panel at the factory OR packaged separately
as a Kit within the carton, depending on the model.

If so equipped, wrap the wire from the lamp down
the right handle until the wire can be plugged into
the alternator lead wire located under the fuel tank.
See Figure 15. Lamp wire must not interfere with
any controls or cables.
