Operating Controls

(See Figure 17 .)

Traction Control / Auger Control Lock

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

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

IMPORTANT: Always release the traction control before changing speeds.

Auger Control

The auger control is located on the left handle. Squeeze the auger control to engage the augers. Release to stop the snow throwing action. The traction control must also be released in order to stop auger.

Headlight

The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.

Throttle Control

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

Safety Ignition Key

The safety ignition key must be fully inserted in the switch before the unit will start. Remove key when snow thrower is not in use. Do not attempt to turn the key.

Meets ANSI Safety Standards

Sears snow throwers conform to the safety standards B71.3 of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
