Drive Control / Auger Control Lock

The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the drive 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 drive control, the operator can release the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release the drive control to stop the augers and wheel drive (the auger control must also be released).

IMPORTANT: NEVER reposition the shift lever (change speeds or direction of travel) without first releasing the drive control and bringing the snow thrower to a complete stop. Doing so will result in premature wear to the snow thrower’s drive system.
