TO CONTROL SNOW DISCHARGE (See Fig. 16)
WARNING: Snow throwers have ex-
posed rotating parts, which can cause
severe injury from contact, or from ma-
terial thrown from the discharge chute.
Keep the area of operation clear of all
persons, small children and pets at all
times including startup.
WARNING: If the discharge chute or au-
ger become clogged, shut-off engine,
disconnect spark plug and wait for all
moving parts to stop. Use a stick, NOT
YOUR HANDS, to unclog the chute
and/or auger.
The DIRECTION in which snow is to be thrown is controlled
by the discharge chute control lever.
• To change the discharge chute position, press down-
ward on discharge chute control lever and move lever
left or right until chute is in desired position. Be sure
lever springs back and locks into desired position.
The DISTANCE that snow is thrown is controlled by the
position of the chute deflector. Set the deflector low to
throw snow a short distance; set the deflector higher to
throw snow farther.
• Press downward on chute deflector control lever and
move lever forward to lower the deflector and decrease
the distance. Move lever back to raise the deflector
and increase the distance. Be sure lever springs back
and locks into desired position.
CONSUMER OPERATION
TO USE THROTTLE CONTROL (See Fig. 14)
The throttle control is located on the engine. Always operate
the snow thrower with the engine at full throttle. Full throttle
offers the best snow thrower performance.
The operation of any snow thrower can result
in foreign objects thrown into the eyes, which
can result in severe eye damage. Always
wear safety glasses or eye shields while
operating your snow thrower or performing
any adjustments or repairs. We recommend
standard safety glasses or a wide vision safety mask worn
over spectacles.
HOW TO USE YOUR SNOW THROWER
Know how to operate all controls before adding fuel or
attempting to start the engine.

or reverse movement of the snow thrower.
AUGER

TO USE FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE (See Fig. 13)
The fuel shut-off valve is located beneath the fuel tank on
the engine. Always operate the snow thrower with the fuel
shut-off valve in the OPEN position.
TO USE CHOKE CONTROL (See Fig. 15)
The choke control is located on the engine. Use the choke
control whenever you are starting a cold engine. Do not
