IMPORTANT: DO NOT force a frozen

discharge chute. Start engine and run for 3-5

minutes to thaw. If still frozen, take to a warm

place until controls are free.

Discharge Chute Deflector

ALWAYS position discharge chute deflector

at a safe angle before starting engine.

necessary.

Handlebar Height Adjustment

(Figure 7)

Adjust handlebar height by selecting the

appropriate handlebar height adjustment

holes. Tighten handlebar wing knobs to

secure upper handlebar to lower handlebar.

NOTE: The upper handlebar can be folded

for storage.

Scraper Blade

The scraper blade allows the back of the

housing to keep better contact with the

surface being cleared. It also prevents

damage to the housing from normal wear.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow scraper blade to

wear down too far or auger housing will

become damaged.

FILLING FUEL TANK

oil be mixed with fuel. Failure to mix oil with

fuel will result in seizure and severe damage

to engine. DO NOT use gasohol or gasoline

containing alcohol. See Engine Manual for

correct type of fuel/oil mixture.

ventilated area.

fuel/oil mixture. Fuel/oil mixture left standing

for prolonged periods will begin to separate;

thoroughly shake fuel/oil mixture before use.

NOTE: See Specifications on page 19 for fuel

tank capacity.

5. Fill fuel tank with fuel/oil mixture.

6. Replace fuel cap and tighten.

7. ALWAYs clean up any spilled fuel.
