Operating Controls
(See Figure 17 .)
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 operate the chute crank without interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged simultaneously 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 the augers and wheel drive (the auger control must also be released).
IMPORTANT: Always release the traction control before changing speeds.
