It is not recommended that you operate this snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily picked up and thrown by the auger causing an injury or damage to the snow thrower.

TIRE PRESSURE (Pneumatic Tires)

The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check tire pressure and reduce to 15 to 20 psi.

NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may pull to one side or the other.

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.
