Shift Lever
The shift lever is located in the center of the
handle panel and is used to determine
ground speed. It can be moved into any of
eight positions for speed and direction
variations as described below. Always
release traction the control before changing
speeds.
The traction control is located on the right handle. Refer
to Figure 9. 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).
Forward: Your snow thrower has six forward
(F) speeds. Position one (1) is the slowest
and position six (6) is the fastest.
Reverse: Your snow thrower has two
reverse (R) speeds. R1 is the slower, while R2 is faster.
IMPORTANT: Always release the traction control before
changing speeds.
Chute Crank
The chute crank is located on the left hand side of the
snow thrower as shown in Figure 9. To change the
direction in which snow is thrown, turn the chute crank
as follows:
