Snow thrower controls and features are described below and

illustrated in Fig. 4-1.

Shift Lever

The shift lever is located in the right side of the

handle panel and is used to determine ground

speed and direction of travel.

Forward

There are six forward (F) speeds. Position one (1) is

the slowest and position six (6) is the fastest.

Reverse

There are two reverse (R) speeds. One (1) is the

slower and two (2) is the faster.

Choke Control

The choke control is found on the rear of

the engine and is activated by rotating the

knob. Activating the choke control closes

the choke plate on the carburetor and aids

in starting the engine.

Ignition Key

The ignition key is a safety device. It must

be fully inserted in order for the engine to

start. Remove the ignition key when the

snow thrower is not in use.
Note: Do not turn the ignition key in an

attempt to start the engine. Doing so may

cause it to break.
