TRACTION DRIVE/AUGER CLUTCH LOCK
(See Figure 14)
The traction drive clutch is located on the right handle.
Squeeze the traction drive clutch to engage the wheel
drive. Release to stop.
This same lever also locks the auger clutch so you
can turn the chute crank without interrupting the snow
throwing process. 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).
CHUTE CRANK
(See Figure 14)
The chute crank is located on left hand side of the
snow thrower.
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.

The throttle control is located on the engine. It regu-
lates the speed of the engine.

the unit will start. Remove the ignition key when snow
thrower is not in use.
