TRACTION / AUGER CONTROL LOCK

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

This same 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 with the traction control engaged, 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 wheel drive (auger control must also be released). See Figure 8.

CHUTE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL

The chute directional control is located on left hand side of the snow thrower. See Figure 8.

To change the direction in which snow is thrown, turn chute directional control as follows:

1.Crank clockwise to discharge to the left.

2.Crank counterclockwise to discharge to the right.

SAFETY IGNITION SWITCH

The ignition key must be inserted in the switch before the unit will start. Remove the ignition key when snow thrower is not in use. See Figure 10.
