Auger Control

The auger control is located on the left handle. Squeeze the control grip against the handle to engage the augers and start snow throwing action. Release to stop.

Drive Control / Auger Clutch Lock

The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the control grip against the handle to engage the wheel drive. Release the handle to stop.

The drive control also locks the auger control so that you can operate the chute directional control without interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged simultaneously with the drive control, the operator can release the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release both controls to stop the augers and wheel drive.

NOTE: Always release the drive control before changing speeds. Failure to do so will result in increased wear on your machine’s drive system.
