Operation
GROUND SPEED SELECTOR
B
A
Use the Speed Selector (A, Figure 8) to control the drive
speed of the snowthrower. There are five forward speeds
and two reverse speeds.
Use the lower speeds to blow deep or wet snow. Use the
higher speeds to blow light snow or to drive the snow-
thrower without blowing snow.
To change speeds, first release the traction Drive Control
lever (B, Figure 8), then move the Speed Selector to the
desired speed setting. Fully press the traction Drive
Control lever to resume operation.
DEFLECTOR
The distance of the discharged snow is mainly controlled
by the position of the deflector (Figure 9). (Engine speed
also affects distance of discharge.)

The more the deflector is tilted UP, the farther snow will
be thrown. Loosen the deflector knob, tilt the deflector
UP or DOWN, and then retighten the knob when the
desired angle has been chosen.
SCRAPER BAR & SKID SHOES
On smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the
scraper bar should scrape the surface. On surfaces such
as gravel, the scraper bar should be high enough so that
it will not pick up gravel or debris.

The height of the scraper bar is controlled by raising or
lowering the Skid Shoes (See Figure 10).

To raise the scraper bar height, rest the scraper bar on
a strip of wood equal in thickness to the desired height.
Make sure the scraper bar is parallel to the ground
surface.
Loosen the skid shoe nuts and let the skid shoes
drop to the surface.
Tighten the nuts, making sure the Skid Shoes are
adjusted equally and are parallel to the surface.
To lower the height of the scraper bar, raise the Skid
Shoes.
If the scraper bar or skid shoes become worn, they
can be replaced by removing the hardware attaching
them to the snowthrower.
