SHIFT LEVER

(See Figures 10 and 11)

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 position. Use the shift lever to determine ground speed.

Forward—one of six speeds. Position number one (1) is the slowest. Position number six (6) is the fastest.

Reverse—two reverse (R) speeds. “R” closest to the operator (all the way back) is the faster of the two.

AUGER CONTROL (See Figure 10)

The auger control clutch is located on the left handle. Squeeze the clutch grip to engage the

TRIGGER LEVERS (See Figure 10)

The trigger levers are located on the underside of the handles and are used to help you steer your snow thrower. To turn right, squeeze the right trigger lever and guide the snow thrower to the right. To turn left, squeeze the left trigger lever and guide the snow thrower to the left. These controls should be used while operating your snow thrower in open areas until you become familiar with their operation. Lift both triggers for easy transport when the engine is not running.

CHUTE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL

(See Figure 10)

The chute directional control is located on left hand side of the snow thrower.

To change the direction in which snow is thrown, turn chute directional control as follows:

1.Crank clockwise to discharge to the left.

2.Crank counterclockwise to discharge to the right.

CHUTE TILT CONTROL (See Figure 10)

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Move the chute tilt control forward to decrease the distance, toward the rear to increase.

HEADLIGHT (See Figure 10)

The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.

THROTTLE CONTROL (See Figure 12)

The throttle control is located on the engine. It regulates the speed of the engine.

SAFETY IGNITION SWITCH (See Figure 12)

The ignition key must be inserted in the switch before the unit will start. Remove the ignition key when snow thrower is not in use.

augers. Release to stop the snow throwing action. (Traction control clutch must also be released.)

TRACTION CONTROL/AUGER CLUTCH LOCK

(See Figure 10)

The traction control clutch is located on the right handle. Squeeze the traction control clutch to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop.

This same lever also locks the auger clutch so you can turn the chute directional control without interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger control clutch is engaged with the traction control clutch engaged, the operator can release the auger control clutch (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release the traction control clutch to stop both the augers and wheel drive (auger control clutch must also be released).
