Features & Controls

Speed Selector

Selects forward speeds 1-6 and reverse speeds 1-2. No neutral position or gate is required, since the traction drive design automatically provides "neutral" (no forward or reverse movement), whenever the Drive Control is released.

Traction Control / Free Hand™ Lock

Engages traction drive to wheels when depressed. Also locks auger control when depressed simultaneously. Releasing the traction control lever releases the Free Hand™ auger control lock and stops the drive wheels and auger.

Auger Control

Engages the auger/impeller when depressed. Releasing the control stops the auger/impeller.

Chute Direction Control

Push the lever forward to unlock the rotator control. Moving the lever to the left will turn the spout to the left side and moving the lever to the right will rotate the spout to the right side. Releasing the lever locks the spout in position.

Remote Deflector Control

Chute Deflector: Locks chute deflector in desired posi- tion. Tilting the chute deflector UP provides a higher stream and greater distance, while tilting the deflector DOWN provides a lower stream and less distance.

Easy Turn™ Control

Easy Turn Control: Engaging the Easy Turn™ lever releases the left wheel to allow easy turning in tight areas. Releasing the control automatically engages both drive wheels for full traction.

Traction Lock Pins: (1100 Series Only) The right trac- tion wheel can be completely released using the locking pin (see Figure 9). This allows the unit to be easily moved with the engine off.

Starter

Open the valve before starting. Fill tank to approximately 1.5 in. (38 mm) below top of neck to allow for fuel expansion.

Primer Button

When pressed, the primer button provides initial fuel to help start a cold engine. Normally, pressing the primer button twice will provide enough fuel to start a cold engine.

Throttle Lever (Optional)

Controls engine speed. Move toward the hare icon for faster engine speed, move toward the turtle icon for slower engine speed. Move the throttle all the way to STOP the engine. Set the throttle to FAST (hare icon) for operation.

Engine Key

The engine key prevents the engine from being started. The key must be fully inserted into the key slot for the unit to start. The key can also used to stop the engine by pulling the key out of the key slot.

Choke Knob

The choke knob adjusts the air/fuel mixture, and is used to help start a cold engine by providing a richer mixture. Once the engine is warm and running smoothly, the choke knob should be set to the off position to provide a normal air/fuel mix.

Stop Switch (Optional)

Turn the the switch to the ON position to operate the engine. Turn the switch to the OFF position to stop the engine.
