Traction Control and Shift Lever Adjustment

To check the adjustment of the traction control and shift lever, proceed as follows:

•Move the shift lever into sixth (6) position.

a.With the traction control (refer to Figure 7 in Section 4 of this manual) released, gently push the snow thrower forward, then pull it back. Disregarding the overall weight of the snow thrower, the machine should otherwise move freely.

b.Engage the traction control, and attempt to move the machine both forward and rearward. You should experience resistance as the wheels should not be turning.

•Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2) position and repeat the previous steps (a & b).

If you experienced resistance either when repositioning the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when attempting to move the machine forward or rearward with the traction control released, your snow thrower’s traction control is

in need of adjustment and you should NOT operate the machine before completing the adjustment as follows:

•Loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable and UNTHREAD the cable one full turn.

•Recheck the adjustment.

•Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached.

If the machine can be moved freely both forward and rearward when the traction control fully depressed, proceed as follows:

•Loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and THREAD the cable in one full turn.

•Recheck the adjustment and repeat adjustment as necessary.

•Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached.

NOTE: If you are uncertain that you have reached the correct adjustment, refer to Traction Control Adjustment on page 10 of this manual.

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 turn the chute directional control without interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged along 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 both the augers and wheel drive (auger control must also be released).

IMPORTANT: Always release tractional control before changing speeds.

Headlight

The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.

Shift Lever

The shift lever is located in the center of the handle panel and is used to determine both ground speed and direction of travel. It can be moved into any of eight positions.

Forward

Your snow thrower has six forward (F) speeds. Position number one (1) is the slowest. Position number six (6) is the fastest.

Reverse

Your snow thrower has two reverse (R) speeds. R1 is the slower, while R2 is the faster of the two.

IMPORTANT: Always release tractional control before changing speeds.

Auger Control

The auger drive clutch is located on the left handle. Squeeze the clutch grip to engage the augers. Release to stop the snow throwing action. (Traction control must also be released.)
