EASY TURN™ FREEWHEELING AND
TRACTION DRIVE LOCK
While Clearing Snow:
For easy turning when using the snowthrower, squeeze
the Easy Turn™ lever (Figure 6). Engaging the Easy
Turn™ lever releases the right traction wheel but allows
the left wheel to continue driving (Figure 4). Releasing
the Easy Turn™ lever automatically engages both drive
wheels for full traction.
NOTE: The Easy Turn™ lever will be more difficult to
activate under a heavy load. Activate the lever before
beginning a turn.
When Pushing the Snowthrower:
For easy turning when pushing the snowthrower, disen-
gage the right wheel using the Traction Lock Pin (See
Figure 7.)
1. Turn the unit off, remove the Engine Key, and discon-
nect the spark plug wire.
