OPERATION

USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 13)

In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may 

become clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool 

to dislodge this blockage.

When cleaning, repairing, or in spect ing, make 

certain all controls are disengaged and the 

auger/impeller and all moving parts have 

stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and 

keep the wire away from the spark plug to 

prevent accidental starting.

• 

Release the auger control lever and shut off the engine.

•  Remove the clean-out tool from its mounting clip.  

Grasp the tool firmly by the handle while pushing and 

twisting the tool into the discharge chute to dislodge 

the blockage. 

After the packed snow has been dislodged, return the 

clean-out tool to it's mounting clip by pushing it into the clip.
•  Make sure the discharge chute is pointed in a safe 

direction (no vehicles, buildings, people, or other objects 

are in the direction of discharge) before restarting engine.

• 

Restart the engine, then squeeze the auger control lever 

to the handle to clear snow from the auger housing and 

the discharge chute.

when traction drive control lever is en gaged. 

Damage to the snow thrower can result.

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.

POWER STEERING OPERATION (See Fig. 15)

Steering triggers are used to assist in steering your snow 

thrower. The triggers are located on the underside of each 

handle. When a trigger is squeezed, it disengages the 

drive wheel on that side of snow thrower and allows it to 

turn in that direction.
•  To turn left – squeeze left side trigger.
•  To turn right – squeeze right side trigger.
