Safety Rules & Information WARNING WARNING This unit is a “single-stage” snowthrower. To avoid serious injury, do not put your hands into the auger housing or discharge chute. If auger stalls or chute becomes plugged, use the following procedure to remove objects or clear the chute: The auger feeds the snow back into the housing and throws the snow out the discharge chute. If bodily contact is made with the auger or impeller when they are rotating, severe personal injury will occur. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Safety Rules & Information OPERATION MAINTENANCE & STORAGE • Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts. Keep clear of discharge opening at all times. • Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to ensure that the equipment is in safe operating condition. • Always clear snow up and down the face of slopes, never across the face. Use extreme caution when changing direction on slopes. Do not attempt to clear slopes over 17.7% (10o).
Safety Rules & Information SAFETY DECALS Safety warning decals are placed at strategic locations on the snowthrower as a constant reminder to the operator of the most important safety precautions. All warning, caution and instructional messages on your snowthrower should be carefully read and obeyed. If any of these decals are lost or damaged, replace them at once. They can be purchased from your local dealer. Part No. 1716672 Auger Control Decal Part No.

Controls & Operation SNOWTHROWER CONTROLS A Auger Control C A. Auger Control - This control engages and disengages the auger. Pull the control back against handle to engage the auger, (this will pull snowthrower forward if auger is in contact with the ground). Release the Auger Control to stop rotation of auger. B Deflector Controls B. Chute Direction Control - The Chute Direction Control (B, Figure 4) allows the discharge chute to be rotated to throw snow in the desired direction.
Controls & Operation ENGINE & STARTING CONTROLS C NOTE: Throttle - This snow thrower does NOT have a throttle for controlling operating speed of engine. The engine governor maintains operating speed for varying snow removal conditions. B Electric Start Units Only A. Electric Start Button - The Electric Start Button (A, Figure 5) activates an electric starter mounted to the engine, eliminating the need to pull the starter handle.
Controls & Operation GENERAL OPERATION CHECKS BEFORE EACH START-UP WARNING 1. Make sure all safety guards are in place and all nuts, bolts and clips are secure.
