Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the rear of the
engine. It regulates the speed of the engine and
will shut off the engine when moved into the
STOP position.
Primer
Pressing the primer forces fuel directly into
the engine’s carburetor to aid in cold-weather
starting.
Oil Fill
Engine oil level can be checked and oil added
through the oil fill.
Skid Shoes
Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust
upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when
operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces.
Electric Starter Outlet
Requires the use of a three-prong outdoor extension cord and a
120V power source/wall outlet.
Recoil Starter Handle
This handle is used to manually start the engine.
Electric Starter Button
Pressing the electric starter button engages the engine’s electric
starter when plugged into a 120V power source.
Augers
When engaged, the augers rotate and draw snow into the auger
housing.
Chute Assembly
Snow drawn into the auger housing is discharged out the chute
assembly.
Gas Cap
Unthread the gas cap to add gasoline to the fuel tank.
Auger Control
The auger control is located on the left handle. Squeeze the
control grip against the handle to engage the augers and start
snow throwing action. Release to stop.
Drive Control / Auger Clutch Lock*
The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the
control grip against the handle to engage the wheel drive.
Release to stop.
*On select models, the drive control also locks the auger control
so that you can operate the chute directional control without
interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger control is
engaged simultaneously with the drive control, the operator can
release the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will
remain engaged. Release both controls to stop the augers and
wheel drive.
Note: Always release the drive control before changing speeds.
Failure to do so will result in increased wear on your machine’s
drive system.
