GROUND SPEED CONTROLS
A.Speed Selector - This lever (A, Figures 4 & 5) is used to set the ground speed of the snowthrower.
The snowthrower has five forward speeds,
B.Drive Control - This control engages the traction drive as the lever (B, Figures 4 & 5) is depressed, and disengages the traction drive when the lever is released. The traction drive provides power to the wheels. NOTE: Changing ground speeds must only be done while the Drive Control is in the disengaged (fully released) position.
AUGER CONTROL
C.Auger Control - The Auger Control clutch lever (C Figures 4 & 5), engages the auger drive (which throws the snow) as the lever is depressed, and disengages the auger drive when the lever is released.
DEFLECTOR CONTROLS
D.Chute Direction Control - The Chute Direction Control (D, Figures 4 & 5), allows the discharge chute to be rotated to throw snow in the desired direction. Snow may be thrown at any angle from straight left, to straight forward, to straight right.
E.Chute Deflector - Controls the distance snow is thrown. Tilting the Chute Deflector (E, Figure 5) UP provides a higher stream and greater distance, while tilting the deflector DOWN provides a lower stream and less distance.
F.Chute Deflector Knob - This knob (F, Figure 5) allows the discharge Chute Deflector (E) to be locked in the desired tilt position.
SCRAPER HEIGHT CONTROL
G.Scraper Bar Height Control - The Skid Shoes (G, Figure 5) control the height the scraper bar (located at the bottom of the auger housing). The scraper bar allows smooth surfaces (such as concrete or asphalt driveways) to be scraped clean of snow. On surfaces such as gravel, the scraper bar should be adjusted higher — so that it will not pick up gravel or debris.
TRACTION LOCK CONTROL
H.Traction Lock Pins - The traction drive to each wheel can be locked and unlocked with the Traction Lock Pins (H, Figure 5) to permit the unit to “free- wheel,” allowing easier manual handling and transport of the snowthrower.
