come clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool
to dislodge this blockage.

Restart the engine, then squeeze the auger control
lever to the handle to clear snow from the auger hous-
ing and the discharge chute.

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.
•
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.
