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. See Figure 12.
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.
Chute Directional Control
The chute directional control is located on left side of the snow thrower. See Figure 12.
To change the direction in which snow is thrown, turn chute directional control as follows:
•Crank clockwise to discharge to the left.
•Crank counterclockwise to discharge to the right.
NOTE: It is easier to maneuver a
Headlight (If Equipped)
The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.
Skid Shoe
The position of the skid shoe is determined by the condition of the ground from where snow has to be removed. See Figure 12.
Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the engine. It regulates the speed of the engine and will shut off the engine when pushed down completely. See Figure 12.
Safety Ignition Key
The safety ignition key must be fully inserted in the switch before the unit will start. Remove the ignition key when the snow thrower is not in use. See Figure 12.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT attempt to turn the key.
Track Steering Controls
The left and right track steering controls are located on the underside of the handles and are used to assist in steering the snow thrower. Squeeze the right track control when turning right and squeeze the left control when turning left. Operate your snow thrower in open areas until you become familiar with these controls. See Figure 12.
