Release both controls to stop the augers and wheel drive.

IMPORTANT: Always release the drive control before changing speeds.

NOTE: The heated handles grips are a compliment to, not a substitute for, proper cold weather outerwear for the operator’s hands. It is recommended that the snow thrower operator wear gloves/mittens to avoid extremities of winter while operating this equipment.
