Use and Care Manual
SPEED SHIFT LEVER
The speed shift lever has 7 positions: 5 forward
speeds and 2 reverse. To change speeds, move the
speed shift lever to the desired position. The lever
locks in a notch at each speed selection.
Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds
are for light snow and transporting the snow blower.
It is recommended that you use a slower speed until
you are familiar with the operation of the snow
blower.
If the engine slows down under a load or the wheels
slip, shift the machine into a lower gear.
If the front of the machine rides up, shift the machine
into a lower gear. If the front continues to ride up, lift
up on the handles.
Always release the drive clutch lever before changing
speeds. Failure to do so will result in damage to the
snow blower.

DIRECTIONAL CHUTE CONTROL
CHUTE DEFLECTOR
DRIVE CLUTCH LEVER
Rotate the directional chute control
clockwise to move the discharge chute
to the left; counterclockwise to move
the chute to the right.
Move the deector handle forward to
move the snow stream down; move it
rearward to move the snow stream up.
Squeeze the clutch lever against the
handgrip to engage the wheel drive.
Release to disengage.
The scraper blade allows better contact with the
surface being cleared. It also prevents damage to the
housing from normal use.
The skid shoes are located on each side of the auger
housing and control the distance between the scraper
blade and the ground. Adjust skid shoes equally to
keep the scraper blade level with the ground.
The scraper blade & skid shoes are subject to wear
and damage. Both scraper blade and skid shoes are
adjustable to compensate for wear. They should be
checked and adjusted periodically. Replace when
necessary.
The augers are secured to the auger shaft with shear
pins and clevis pins. If the auger should strike a foreign
object or ice jam, the snow blower is designed so that
the pins may shear, preventing damage to any other
components. If augers will not turn, check to see if the
pins have sheared. Replace the shear pins if necessary.
Both scraper blade and skid shoes have two wear
edges. When one side wears out, they can be rotated
180° to use the other edge.
