TRACTION DRIVE/AUGER CLUTCH LOCK
(See Figure 14)
The traction drive clutch is located on the right handle. Squeeze the traction drive clutch to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop.
This same lever also locks the auger clutch so you can turn the chute crank without interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger drive clutch is engaged with the traction drive clutch engaged, the operator can release the auger drive clutch (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release the traction drive clutch to stop both the augers and wheel drive (auger drive clutch must also be released).
CHUTE CRANK (See Figure 14)
The chute crank is located on left hand side of the snow thrower.
To change the direction in which snow is thrown, turn chute crank as follows:
1.Crank clockwise to discharge to the left.
2.Crank counterclockwise to discharge to the right.
THROTTLE CONTROL (See Figure 17)
The throttle control is located on the engine. It regu- lates the speed of the engine.
SAFETY IGNITION SWITCH (See Figure 17)
The ignition key must be inserted in the switch before the unit will start. Remove the ignition key when snow thrower is not in use.
