This same lever also locks the auger control so you
can turn the chute directional control without
interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger
control is engaged along 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 both the augers and track
drive (auger control must also be released).
IMPORTANT:
Always release tractional control before
changing speeds.
Auger Drive Control
The auger drive control is located on the left handle.
Squeeze the control grip to engage the augers.
Release to stop the snow throwing action. (Traction
control must also be released.) See Figure 5.
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. See Figure 5.
Skid Shoe
The position of the skid shoe is determined by the
condition of the ground from where snow has to be
removed. See Figure 5.
Shift Lever
The shift lever is located in the center of the handle
panel and is used to determine both ground speed and
direction of travel. It can be moved into any of eight
positions. See Figure 5.
Forward
Your snow thrower has six forward (F) speeds. Position
number one (1) is the slowest. Position number six (6)
is the fastest.
Reverse
Your snow thrower has two reverse (R) speeds. R1 is
the slower, while R2 is the faster of the two.
IMPORTANT:
Always release tractional control before
changing speeds.
Chute Directional Control
The chute directional control is located on left side of
the snow thrower. See Figure 5.
To change the direction in which snow is thrown, turn
chute directional control as follows:
• Crank clockwise to discharge to the left.
• Crank counterclockwise to discharge to the right.
Chute Clean-Out Tool
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.
WARNING: Never use your hand to clear a
clogged discharge chute. Shut off engine
and remain behind handles until all
moving parts have stopped before
unclogging.
Heated Handles Switch
This switch is located on the right side of the snow
thrower dash panel. To activate the heated handles,
toggle the switch to the right to generate heat within the
handle grips. Toggle the switch to the left to the OFF
position after using the snow thrower. See Figure 5.
NOTE: The heated handles grips are a compliment to,
not a substitute for, proper cold weather outerwear for
the operator’s hands. It is recommended that the snow
thrower operator wear gloves/mittens to avoid
extremities of winter while operating this equipment.
Track Steering Controls
The left and right track steering controls are located on
the underside of the handles and they are used to
assist in steering the snow thrower. Squeeze the right
track control when turning right, squeeze the left control
when turning left. Operate your snow thrower in open
areas until you become familiar with these controls.
See Figure 5.
NOTE: It is easier to maneuver a non-running snow
thrower with both track steering controls held in
simultaneously.
Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the engine. It regulates
the speed of the engine and will shut off the engine
when pushed down completely. See Figure 5.
Fuel Shut-Off Valve (Optional Equipment)
On models so equipped, the fuel shut-off valve, located
under fuel tank, controls fuel-flow from the gas tank.
See Figure 5.
Safety Ignition Key
The safety ignition key must be fully inserted in the
switch before the unit will start. Remove the ignition key
when the snow thrower is not in use. See Figure 5.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT attempt to turn the key.
Headlight
The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.
