•Loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and THREAD the cable in one full turn.
•Recheck the adjustment and repeat adjustment as necessary.
•Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached.
If you are uncertain that you have reached the correct adjustment, refer to Traction Control Adjustment in Adjustment Section.

WARNING: Read, understand, and follow all instructions and warnings on the machine and in this manual before operating.
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. See Figure 7.
Release to stop the snow throwing action. (Traction control must also be released.) See Figure 7.
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. See Figure 7.
This same lever 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 along 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 both the augers and track drive (auger control must also be released).
IMPORTANT: Always release tractional control before changing speeds.
Auger Drive Control
The auger drive control is located on the left handle. Squeeze the control grip to engage the augers.
Skid Shoe
The position of the skid shoe is determined by the condition of the ground from where snow has to be removed. See Figure 7.
Chute Directional Control
The chute directional control is located on left side of the snow thrower. See Figure 7.
To change the direction in which snow is thrown, turn chute directional control as follows:
•Crank clockwise to discharge to the left.
•Crank counterclockwise to discharge to the right.
