OPERATION
USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 14)
CAUTION: Do not move speed control lever
when traction drive control lever is engaged.
Damage to the snow thrower can result.
In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may be-
come clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool
to dislodge this blockage.
•
Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds
are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It
is recommended that you use a slower speed until you
are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.
When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make
certain all controls are disengaged and the au-
ger/impellerandallmovingpartshavestopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the
wire away from the spark plug to prevent ac-
cidental starting.
NOTE: When both traction drive and auger control levers
are engaged, the traction drive control lever will lock the
auger control lever in the engaged position. This will allow
you to release your right hand from the handle and adjust
the discharge chute direction without interrupting the snow
throwing process.

snow thrower. The triggers are located on the underside
of each handle. When a trigger is squeezed, it disen-
gages the drive wheel on that side of snow thrower and
allows it to turn in that direction.
