Traction Control / Auger Control Lock
The traction control is located on the right handle.
Squeeze the traction control to engage the wheel drive.
Release to stop.
This same lever also locks the auger control so you can
operate the chute crank without interrupting the snow
throwing process. If the auger control is engaged
simultaneously with the traction control, the operator
can release the auger control (on the left handle) and
the augers will remain engaged. Release the traction
control to stop the augers and wheel drive (the auger
control must also be released).
IMPORTANT:
Always release the traction control before
changing speeds.

the control before changing speeds.
Forward: The snow thrower has six
forward (F) speeds. Position one (1)
is the slowest and position six (6) is
the fastest.

Discharge Chute
The angle of the discharge chute controls the distance
that the snow is thrown. Tilt the discharge chute up for
greater distance; tilt down for less distance.
Chute Crank
The chute crank is located on the left
hand side of the snow thrower. Use it
to change the direction in which snow
is thrown. Avoid targetting persons,
animals or cars and buildings.
Chute Tilt Control
The distance snow is thrown can be
changed by adjusting the angle of the
chute assembly. Move the chute tilt
control forward to decrease the
distance, toward the rear to increase.

The chute clean-out tool is designed to clear a clogged
discharge chute. Refer to page 10 for instructions on
how to properly use it.

the snow thrower handle panel.
• To activate heated grips, toggle the switch to the

protection for hands (like gloves/mittens) when
operating this snow thrower.
