While Clearing Snow:

For easy turning when using the snowthrower, squeeze the Easy Turn™ lever (Figure 6). Engaging the Easy Turn™ lever releases the right traction wheel but allows the left wheel to continue driving (Figure 6). Releasing the Easy Turn™ lever automatically engages both drive wheels for full traction.

NOTE: The Easy Turn™ lever will be more difficult to activate under a heavy load. Activate the lever before beginning a turn.

When Pushing the Snowthrower:

For easy turning when pushing the snowthrower, disen- gage the right wheel using the traction lock pin (See Figure 7.)

1.Turn the unit off, remove the engine key, and discon- nect the spark plug wire.
