SHIFT LEVER
The shift lever is located in the center of the handle panel. The shift lever may be moved into one of eight positions. Run engine with throttle in the fast posi- tion. Use the shift lever to determine ground speed. See Figure 14.
Forward - There are six speeds. Position number one (1) is the slowest. Position number six (6) is the fastest.
Reverse - There two reverse (R) speeds. “R” closest to the operator (all the way back) is the faster of the two.
AUGER CONTROL
The auger control is located on the left handle. Squeeze the control to engage the augers. Release to stop the snow throwing action. (Traction control must also be released.) See Figure 14.
TRACTION / AUGER CONTROL LOCK
The traction control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the control to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop.
This same control also locks the auger control so you can turn the chute control without interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged with the traction control engaged, the opera- tor can release the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release the traction control to stop both the augers and wheel drive (auger control must also be released).
See Figure 14.
