CAUTION: Do not move speed con trol le ver
when traction drive control lever is en gaged.
Damage to the snow thrower can result.
• Slower speeds are for heavier snow and faster speeds
are for light snow and transporting the snow thrower. It
is recommended that you use a slower speed until you
are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.
NOTE: When both traction drive and auger control levers
are engaged, the traction drive control lever will lock the
auger control lever in the engaged position. This will allow
you to release your right hand from the handle and adjust
the discharge chute direction without interrupting the snow
throwing process.
POWER STEERING OPERATION (See Fig. 16)
Steering triggers are used to assist in steering your snow
thrower. The triggers are located on the underside of each
handle. When a trigger is squeezed, it disengages the drive
wheel on that side of snow thrower and allows it to turn in
that direction.
• To turn left – squeeze left side trigger.
• To turn right – squeeze right side trigger.
