Setting Up

Your Snow

Thrower

NOTE:

Reference to right

and left side of the machine
are observed from the
operating position.

1. Observe the lower rear area of the snow thrower to

be sure both cables are aligned with roller guides
before pivoting the handle upward.

2. Secure the handle by tightening the plastic wing

knob located on both the left and right sides of the
handle. Remove and discard any rubber bands, if
present. They are for packaging purposes only.

3. Position the chute assembly over the base.
4. Close the flange keepers to secure the chute

assembly to the chute base. The flange keepers will
click into place when properly secure.

NOTE: If the flange keepers will not easily click into
place, use the palm of your hand to apply swift, firm
pressure to the back of each.

NOTE: Two replacement
auger shear pins and bow
tie cotter pins are provided
for your convenience. Store
in a safe place until
needed. Refer to “Augers”
in the Maintenance Section
of this manual for more
information.

NOTE: This Operator’s
Manual covers several
models. Snow thrower
features vary by model. Not
all features discussed in
this manual are applicable
to all snow thrower models.
