TO USE WEIGHT TRANSFER SYSTEM

In hard packed or heavy snow conditions, conventional snow throwers tend to rideup and leave uneven mounds of snow behind. For these conditions, your new tracked snow thrower has a unique weight transfer system (See Fig. 11) designed to minimize ride-up.

Stepping on the weight transfer pedal shins more weight to the auger housing° This weight transfer keeps the snow thrower in contact with the ground and reduces ride-up,

In lighter snow conditions or when transporting, you should release the weight transfer system for easier steering.

To use the weight transfer, hold the upper handle firmly and push down on the weight transfer pedal (See Fig. t 1) with the ball of your foot°

To release, pull up on the weight transfer pedalwith the top of your foot.

NOTE: The weight transfer system will not work if the auger housing height adjust skids are adjusted to the highest position°
