SECTION 2: ASSEMBLING YOUR SNOW THROWER
NOTE: References to right or left side of the snow
thrower are determined from behind the unit in the
operating position (standing directly behind the snow
thrower, facing the handle panel).
NOTE: This Operator’s Manual covers several
models. Snow thrower features vary by model. Not
all features referenced and pictured in this manual are
applicable to all snow thrower models.
IMPORTANT: Two replacement auger shear pins and
cotter pins are included with this manual. Refer to
Augers on page 19 for more information.
CAUTION: Prior to operating your snow
thrower, refer to Auger Control Test on page 11.
Read and follow all instructions carefully and
perform all adjustments to verify your snow
thrower is operating safely and properly.
Securing the Handle
1. Observe the lower rear area of the snow thrower to
be sure both cables are aligned with roller guides
before pivoting the handle upward.
2. Secure the upper shift rod to the lower shift rod by
sliding the connector sleeve downward.
3. Secure the right side of the handle by tightening the
plastic wing knob. Remove and discard any rubber
bands, if present. They are for packaging purposes
only.
4. Secure the left side of the handle by tightening the
plastic wing knob into the eyebolt.
