SPEED and DIRECTION are controlled by the drive speed
control lever.
•
Press downward on the speed control lever and move
lever to desired position BEFORE engaging the trac-
tion drive control lever. Be sure lever springs back and
locks into desired position.

when traction drive control lever is engaged.

USING THE CLEAN-OUT TOOL (See Fig. 16)
In certain snow conditions, the discharge chute may be-
come clogged with ice and snow. Use the clean-out tool to
dislodge this blockage.
•
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.
When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make
certain all controls are disengaged and the
auger/impeller and all moving parts have
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and
keep the wire away from the spark plug to pre-
vent accidental starting.
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.
