Engine Operator’s Manual packed with your snow thrower. Read and follow all instructions carefully.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
Read  the  Engine Operator’s  Manual  carefully  in  its  entirety before  attempting  to  operate  the machine.  Be
completely  familiar with  the  controls  and  the proper  use  of  the engine  before  operating  the  unit. Keep  both
Operator’s Manuals in a safe place for future and regular use.

OPERATING THE SNOW THROWER
1.
2.
Start the engine as instructed in the Engine Operator’s Manual.
Adjust the  discharge chute  up  or down  as desired.  Then use  the chute  crank to  position the  discharge to
discharge snow  with the wind.  Do not throw  snow toward a  building as hidden  objects could be  discharged
with enough force to cause damage.
3.
4.
Making certain  no bystanders or  obstacles are in  front of  the unit, engage  the auger control  handle. As the
snow thrower starts to  move, maintain a firm hold  on the handle, and guide  the snow thrower along the  path
to be cleared.
Release the auger control handle to stop the snow throwing action and forward motion.
TO STOP THE ENGINE
1.
2.
Run the engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry any moisture on the engine.
To stop engine: Turn ignition key to OFF position and remove it from the snow thrower.
NOTE:  Do not lose ignition key. Keep it in a safe place. Engine will not start without the ignition key.
3.
Wipe all snow and moisture from the unit. Move the  choke lever back and forth several times and leave in the
ON position.
OPERATING TIPS
1.
2.
3.
For most efficient snow removal, remove snow immediately after it falls.
Discharge snow downwind whenever possible. Slightly overlap each previous cleared path.
Lifting up  on  the handle  will allow  the  rubber on  the augers  to propel  the  snow thrower  forward. Pushing
downward on the handle will raise the augers off the ground and stop the forward motion.
NOTE: Excessive  upward pressure  on  the handle  will  result in  premature  wear on  the  rubber auger  blades
which would not be covered by warranty.

Run the engine for a few minutes before stopping to help dry any moisture on the engine.
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after each use.
It is not  recommended that you operate  this snow thrower on gravel  as loose gravel can  be easily picked up
and thrown by the auger, causing an injury or damage to the snow thrower.
