Track Lock Lever
The track lock lever is located on the right side
of the snow thrower and is used to select the
position of the auger housing and the method
of track operation. Move the lever to the right,
then forward or backward to one of the three
positions.
Transport
Raises the front end of the snow thrower for
easy transport. Using proper caution, this
position may also be used on many gravel
driveways to clear snow while leaving gravel
undisturbed.
Normal Snow
Allows the tracks to be suspended
independently for continuous ground contact.
Packed Snow
Locks the front end of the snow thrower down
to the ground for hard-packed or icy snow
conditions.
Chute Clean-Out Tool
WARNING! Never use your hands to clear a
clogged chute assembly. Shut off engine and remain
behind handles until all moving parts have stopped
before unclogging.
The chute clean-out tool is conveniently fastened to the rear of
the auger housing with a mounting clip. Should snow and ice
become lodged in the chute assembly during operation, proceed
as follows to safely clean the chute assembly and chute opening:
1. Release both the Auger Control and the Drive Control.
2. Stop the engine as instructed in the Engine Operator’s
Manual. Remove the key.
3. Remove the clean-out tool from the clip which secures it to
the rear of the auger housing.
4. Use the shovel-shaped end of the clean-out tool to
dislodge and scoop any snow and ice which has formed in
and near the chute assembly.
5. Refasten the clean-out tool to the mounting clip on
the rear of the auger housing, reinsert the key and start
the snow thrower’s engine as instructed in the Engine
Operator’s Manual.
While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow
thrower), engage the auger control for a few seconds to clear any
remaining snow and ice from the chute assembly.
