SNOWTHROWER to familiarize yourself with the location of var-
ious controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future refer-

WARNING: The operation of any snowthrower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in
severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before beginning snowthrower operation. We recommend
standard safety glasses or Wide Vision Safety Mask over spectacles.
SAFETY SYSTEM TEST
WARNING
Amputation Hazard
This snowthrower is equipped with several mechanical safety
systems designed to keep the operator safe while using the unit.
Check the operation of these systems regularly using the safety
system tests listed. If the unit fails to operate as described, DO NOT
operate it. See your authorized dealer for service immediately.
Test 1 – Auger/Impeller Control
With the engine running:
• Press down on the auger control lever. (The auger/impeller should rotate.)
• Release the auger control lever. (The auger/impeller should stop within 5
seconds.)
Test 2 – Traction Drive Control
With the engine running and speed control in 1st gear:
• Press down on the traction control lever. (The unit should move forward.)
• Release the traction control lever. (The unit should stop.)
OPERATE THE SNOWTHROWER
The most effective use of the snowthrower will be established by experi-
ence, taking into consideration the terrain, wind conditions, and building
location which will determine the direction of the discharge chute.
NOTICE: Do not throw snow toward a building as hidden objects
could be thrown with sufficient force to cause damage.
1. Start the engine. See "Start The Engine" in this section.
2. Rotate the handle (A, Figure 2) to set the direction (left or right) of the
discharge chute.
3. Adjust the snow chute deflector. Loosen the wing nut (G) on the side
of the snow chute and raise the chute deflector for more distance, or
lower it for less distance. Then tighten the wing nut.
