If the auger drive clutch is engaged with the traction drive clutch engaged, the operator can release the auger drive clutch (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release the traction drive clutch to stop both the augers and wheel drive (auger drive clutch must also be released).

To change the direction in which snow is thrown, turn chute crank as follows:
1.Crank clockwise to discharge to the left.
2.Crank counterclockwise to discharge to the right.
CHUTE TILT CONTROL
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Move the chute tilt control forward to decrease the distance, toward the rear to increase.
HEADLIGHT
The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.
