Operating the Traction Drive
If the traction drive is not properly adjusted,
the snowthrower may move in the direction
opposite of what you intended, causing injury
and/or property damage.
Figure 34
Carefully check the traction drive and adjust
it properly, if necessary; refer to Checking the
Traction Drive Operation in Setup for more
information.
Note: This disengages the drive to the right wheel while
the left wheel continues driving, and the snowthrower
turns to the right.
Important: If the snowthrower moves when the
traction lever is in the released position, check the
traction cable (refer to Checking and Adjusting
the Traction Cable) or take the snowthrower to an
Authorized Service Dealer for service.
Note: Similarly, squeezing the left wheel clutch lever
turns the snowthrower to the left.
When you complete the turn, release the wheel clutch
lever, and the drive re-engages both wheels (Figure 35).
Important: To operate the traction drive, you
must operate the snowthrower with the self-propel
feature engaged. Refer to Freewheeling or Using
the Self-propel Drive.
1.
To engage the traction drive, squeeze the left hand
(traction) lever to the handgrip (Figure 33).
Figure 35
Momentarily squeezing and releasing the left or right
wheel clutch lever also allows for steering adjustments to
keep the snowthrower going in a straight line, especially
in deep snow.
Squeezing both wheel clutch levers simultaneously
disengages the drive to both wheels. This enables you
to manually move the snowthrower backward without
stopping to shift it into a reverse gear. It also allows you
to maneuver and transport the snowthrower more easily
when the engine is not running.
Figure 33
2.
To stop the traction drive, release the traction lever.
Using the Wheel Clutch Levers
The wheel clutch levers allow you to momentarily
disengage the drive to one or both wheels with the
traction drive lever still engaged. This enables you to
turn and maneuver the snowthrower easily.
Note: Holding down the traction lever against the
handle engages the traction drive to both wheels.
To turn the snowthrower to the right, lift up on the
right wheel clutch lever and squeeze it toward the handle
(Figure 34).
