GROUND SPEED

Use the ground speed shift lever (E, figure 2) to control the drive speed of the snowthrower. There are three for- ward speeds and one reverse speed. Position 1 is for extra deep, wet, heavy snow. Positon 2 is for deep, wet, heavy snow. Position 3 is for light, fluffy snow and to drive the snowthrower without blowing snow. To change speeds, first release the drive control clutch lever (B, fig- ure I), then move the ground speed shift lever to the desired speed setting.
