TRACTION DRIVE LOCK
When Pushing the Snowthrower:
For easy turning when pushing the snowthrower,
disengage the right wheel using the traction lock pin
(See Figure 11.)
1. Turn the unit off, remove the engine key, and
disconnect the spark plug wire.
2. To DISENGAGE the traction drive lock, insert the
Traction Lock Pin (A, Figure 11) through the outer
hole in the right axle. The unit can now be pushed
with minimal resistance.
3. To ENGAGE the traction drive lock, align the hole
in the hub with the inner hole in the axle, and
install the Traction Lock Pin (B).
NOTE: Be sure both wheels are locked (locking pin in
inner hole) when clearing snow.

Operation
DEFLECTOR
The distance of the discharged snow is mainly
controlled by the position of the deflector. (Engine
speed also affects distance of discharge.) The more
the deflector is tilted UP, the farther snow will be
thrown.
1. Rotate the adjustment knob (C, Figure 9)
counterclockwise to loosen then adjust the
deflector to the desired position and tighten the
deflector adjustment knob by turning it clockwise
to secure the deflector in position.
SCRAPER BAR & SKID SHOES
On smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the
scraper bar (A, Figure 10) should scrape the surface.
On surfaces such as gravel, the scraper bar should be
high enough so that it will not pick up gravel or debris.
The height of the scraper bar (A) is controlled by
raising or lowering the skid shoes (B).
1. To raise the scraper bar height, rest the scraper bar
(A) on a strip of wood equal in thickness to the
desired height.
2. Make sure the scraper bar is parallel to the ground
surface.
3. Loosen the skid shoe nuts (C) and let the skid
shoes (B) drop to the surface.
4. Tighten the nuts (C), making sure the skid shoes
are adjusted equally and are parallel to the
surface.
5. To lower the height of the scraper bar, raise the
skid shoes.
6. If the scraper bar becomes worn, it can be
replaced by removing the hardware attaching it to
the snowthrower.
