Troy-Bilt 772C0767 Chute Crank, Auger Drive Control, Shift Lever, Chute Tilt Control, Skid Shoe

The drive control also locks the auger control so you can turn 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 track drive.

Chute Crank

The chute crank is located on the left side of the snow thrower. Use it to change the direction in which snow is thrown. Avoid targeting persons, animals or cars and buildings.

Forward	R2
Your snow thrower has six forward
(F) speeds, with position number
one (1) being the slowest speed,

and position number six (6) being the fastest.

Reverse

Your snow thrower has two reverse (R) speeds, R1 is the slower of the two.

Chute Tilt Control

The distance snow is thrown can be changed by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Move the chute tilt control forward to decrease the distance, toward the rear to increase.

Skid Shoe

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted by positioning the skid shoes. Refer to Skid Shoe Adjustment on page 12.

Clean-Out Tool

The clean-out tool is designed to clear a clogged chute. Refer to page 10 for instructions on how to properly use it.

WARNING: Never use your hand to clear a clogged chute. Shut off engine and remain behind handles until all moving parts have stopped before unclogging.

Heated Handles Switch (on some models)

This switch is located on the right side of the snow thrower dash panel. To activate the heated handles, toggle the switch to the right to generate heat within the handle grips. Toggle the switch to the left to the OFF position after using the snow thrower. See Figure 6.

NOTE: The heated handles grips are a compliment to, not a substitute for, proper cold weather outerwear for the operator’s hands. It is recommended that the snow thrower operator wear gloves/mittens to avoid extremities of winter while operating this equipment.

Track Steering Controls

The left and right track steering controls are located on the underside of the handles and they are used to

assist in steering the snow thrower. Squeeze the right track control when turning right, squeeze the left control when turning left. Operate your snow thrower in open areas until you become familiar with these controls. See Figure 6.

NOTE: It is easier to maneuver a non-running snow thrower with both track steering controls held in simultaneously.

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 6.
