Shift Lever
NOTE: It is easier to maneuver a non-running snow
thrower with both track steering controls held in
simultaneously.
The shift lever is located in the center of the handle
panel and is used to determine both ground speed and
direction of travel. It can be moved into any of eight
positions. See Figure 12.
Headlight
(If Equipped)
The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.
Forward
Your snow thrower has six forward (F) speeds. Position
number one (1) is the slowest. Position number six (6)
is the fastest.
Skid Shoe
The position of the skid shoe is determined by the
condition of the ground from where snow has to be
removed. See Figure 12.
Reverse
Your snow thrower has two reverse (R) speeds. R1 is
the slower, while R2 is the faster of the two.
Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the engine. It regulates
the speed of the engine and will shut off the engine
when pushed down completely. See Figure 12.
IMPORTANT: Always release tractional control before
changing speeds.
Chute Directional Control
The chute directional control is located on left side of
the snow thrower. See Figure 12.
Safety Ignition Key
The safety ignition key must be fully inserted in the
switch before the unit will start. Remove the ignition key
when the snow thrower is not in use. See Figure 12.
To change the direction in which snow is thrown, turn
chute directional control as follows:
•
•
Crank clockwise to discharge to the left.
Crank counterclockwise to discharge to the right.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT attempt to turn the key.
Fuel Shut-off Valve
Track Steering Controls
The fuel shut-off valve, located under the fuel tank,
controls fuel flow from the tank. Always make certain it
is in the Open (vertical) position before attempting to
start the engine. See Figure 12.
The left and right track steering controls are located on
the underside of the handles and are used to assist in
steering the snow thrower. Squeeze the right track
control when turning right and squeeze the left control
when turning left. Operate your snow thrower in open
areas until you become familiar with these controls.
See Figure 12.
