Operation

OPERATING THE SNOWTHROWER

1.Rotate the discharge chute to the desired direction.

2.Set the Speed Selector to the desired forward speed.

3.Fully press and hold the Auger Control (C, Figure 10) on the right-hand grip to begin auger rotation. To dis- engage the auger, completely release the lever.

4.Fully press and hold the traction Drive Control lever (B, Figure 10) on the left-hand grip to engage the traction drive and begin moving the snowthrower. To disengage the traction drive, completely release the lever.

5.Select forward or reverse speeds as needed using the Speed Selector (A, Figure 10). Release the Drive Control lever whenever changing drive speeds.

NOTE: After 5 - 10 hours of use, it may be necessary to adjust the tension on the traction drive rod. See "Traction Drive Clutch Rod Adjustment" in the Service Section for the adjustment procedure.

GROUND SPEED SELECTOR

Use the Speed Selector (A, Figure 10) to control the drive speed of the snowthrower. There are five forward speeds and two reverse speeds.

Use the lower speeds to blow deep or wet snow. Use the higher speeds to blow light snow or to drive the snow- thrower without blowing snow.

To change speeds, first release the traction Drive Control lever (B, Figure 10), then move the Speed Selector to the desired speed setting. Fully press the traction Drive Control lever to resume operation.

ENGINE SPEED

For overall best performance, run the snowthrower at full engine operating speed. Use the engine Throttle Lever (See Figure 11) to set the engine speed. Slide the Throttle Lever UP to increase engine speed, and DOWN to reduce speed.
