See Figure 8. Skid Shoe The position of the skid shoe is determined by the condition of the ground from where snow has to be removed. See Figure 8. Shift Lever The shift lever is located in the center of the handle panel and is used to determine both ground speed and direction of travel. It can be moved into any of eight positions. See Figure 8. Forward Your snow thrower has six forward (F) speeds. Position number one (1) is the slowest. Position number six (6) is the fastest. Reverse Your snow thrower has two reverse (R) speeds. R1 is the slower, while R2 is the faster of the two. IMPORTANT: Always release tractional control before changing speeds. Electric Chute-Rotation Switch The electric chute-rotation switch is located on the left side of the snow thrower dash panel. See Figure 8. To change the direction in which discharged snow is thrown, proceed as follows: • Push the toggle switch to the left to rotate the chute counterclockwise. • Push the toggle switch to the right to rotate the chute clockwise. IMPORTANT: Release the switch once the chute has completed its rotation cycle in either direction. Failure to do so can result in damage to the electric chute motor and/or its drive gear. Headlight The headlight is on whenever the engine is running. Throttle Control The throttle control is located on the engine. It regulates the speed of the engine and will shut off the engine when pushed down completely. See Figure 8. Safety Ignition Key The safety ignition key must be fully inserted in the switch before the unit will start. Remove the ignition key when the snow thrower is not in use. See Figure 8. IMPORTANT: Do NOT attempt to turn the key. Fuel Shut-off Valve The fuel shut-off valve, located under the fuel tank, controls fuel flow from the tank. Always make certain it is in the Open (vertical) position before attempting to start the engine. See Figure 8. Heated Handles Switch This switch is located on the right side of the snow thrower dash panel. To activate the heated handles, toggle the switch to the right to generate heat within the handle grips. Toggle the switch to the left to the OFF position after using the snow thrower. See Figure 8. NOTE: The heated handles grips are a compliment to, not a substitute for, proper cold weather outerwear for the operator’s hands. It is recommended that the snow thrower operator wear gloves/mittens to avoid extremities of winter while operating this equipment.
