TO MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARD (See Fig. 15)
•Squeeze traction drive control lever to handle to engage the drive system.
•Release traction drive control lever to stop the forward or reverse movement of the snow thrower.
SPEED and DIRECTION are controlled by the drive speed control lever.
•Press downward on the speed control lever and move lever to desired position BEFORE engaging the trac- tion drive control lever. Be sure lever springs back and locks into desired position.
CAUTION: Do not move speed control lever when traction drive control lever is engaged. Damage to the snow thrower can result.

NOTE: When both traction drive and auger control levers are engaged, the traction drive control lever will lock the auger control lever in the engaged position. This will allow you to release your right hand from the handle and adjust the discharge chute direction without interrupting the snow throwing process.
