• With the traction control released, push the snow

thrower forward, then pull it back. The machine
should move freely.

• Engage the traction control and attempt to move
the machine both forward and back, resistance
should be felt.

• Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2)
position and repeat the previous two steps.

If you experienced resistance rolling the unit, either
when repositioning the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when
attempting to move the machine with the traction
control released, adjust the traction control
immediately. To adjust, proceed as follows:

• Loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable
and unthread the cable one full turn.

• Recheck adjustment.

• Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when

correct adjustment is reached.

NOTE: For more details, refer to Traction Control
Adjustment on page 11.

Auger Control

Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:

• When the auger control is released and in the
disengaged “up” position, the cable should have
very little slack, but should NOT be tight.

WARNING: Do not over-tighten the cable.

Over-tightening may prevent the auger from
disengaging and compromise the safety of the
snow thrower.

• In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower
engine as instructed on page 9. Make sure the
throttle is set in the fast position.

• While standing in the operator’s position (behind
the snow thrower) engage the auger.

• Allow the auger to remain engaged for
approximately ten (10) seconds before releasing
the auger control. Repeat this several times.

• With the engine running in the fast position and the
auger control lever in the disengaged “up” position,
walk to the front of the machine.

• Confirm that the auger has completely stopped
rotating and shows no signs of motion.

IMPORTANT:

immediately return to the operator’s position and shut
off the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop before
readjusting the auger control cable.

• To readjust the control cable, loosen the hex jam
nut on the auger control cable “Z” fitting.

• Rotate the coupling end of the cable
counterclockwise to provide more slack.

• Move throttle control up to FAST position.

• Insert ignition key into slot. Be certain it snaps into

place. Do not turn key.

NOTE: Engine will not start unless ignition key is

inserted into ignition slot in carburetor cover.

Electric Starter

• Determine that your house wiring is a three-wire
grounded system. Ask a licensed electrician if you
are not certain.

WARNING: The electric starter is equipped

with a grounded three-wire power cord and
plug and is designed to operate on 120 volt AC
household current. It must be used with a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle at all
times to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Follow all instructions carefully prior to
operating the electric starter.

• If your house wiring system is not a three-wire
grounded system, do not use this electric starter

under any conditions.

or natural disaster. Damage resulting from the installation or
use of any accessory or attachment not approved by Troy-Bilt

void your warranty as to any resulting damage.

Normal wear parts or components thereof are subject to
separate terms as follows: All normal wear parts or

d. Troy-Bilt LLC does not extend any warranty for

its possesions and territories, except those sold
through Troy-Bilt LLC’s authorized channels of export
distribution.

e. Parts that are not genuine Troy-Bilt parts are not

f. Service completed by someone other than an

long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions or
limitations may not apply to you.

In no event shall recovery of any kind be greater than the
amount of the purchase price of the product sold. Alteration
