KEY
The key is a safety device. It must be fully inserted in
order for the engine to start. Remove the key when the
snow thrower is not in use.
NOTE: Do not turn the key in an attempt to start the
engine. Doing so may cause it to break.
AUGER
When engaged, the auger rotation draws snow into the auger housing
and throws it out the discharge chute. Rubber paddles on the auger
also aid in propelling the snow thrower as they come in contact with
the pavement.
AUGER CONTROL
Located on the upper handle, the auger control handle is used to
engage and disengage drive to the auger. Squeeze the control handle
against the upper handle to engage the auger; release it to disengage.
MUFFLER
