Instructions for the IH Cub Cadet Snow Blower

Check both the oil and gas levels. Both reservoirs are located on top of the engine at the front of the machine. Top up the fluids if they are low.

Place both the snow blower's traction control and auger controls in the off (disengaged) position.

Slide the Cub Cadet's throttle to the fast position and turn the choke to the off position.

Press the primer bulb two to three times and then pull the recoil starter rope out slowly. As it feels tighter, rapidly pull on the rope to start the snow blower. If it won't start after a couple of pulls, slide the choke lever to the full position if necessary to start the snow blower.

Push the snow blower's shift lever into the forward or reverse position. There are six speeds, with sixth being the fastest speed.

Squeeze the Cub Cadet's auger control clutch with your left hand. With your right hand, squeeze the traction control clutch, which engages the wheels to turn and locks the auger clutch. Release the auger control clutch (left hand) to stop the auger from rotating when the machine is not moving, or release the right grip to stop the snow blower from moving and the auger from turning.
