(See Figures 10 and 11)
The shift lever is located in the center of
the handle panel. The shift lever may be
moved into one of eight positions. Run
engine with throttle in the fast position.
Use the shift lever to determine ground
speed.
Forward—one of six speeds. Position
number one (1) is the slowest. Position
number six (6) is the fastest.
CHUTE TILT CONTROL (See Figure 10)
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Move the
chute tilt control forward to decrease the distance,
toward the rear to increase.
HEADLIGHT (See Figure 10)
The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.
THROTTLE CONTROL (See Figure 12)
Reverse—two reverse (R) speeds. “R”
closest to the operator (all the way back)
is the faster of the two.
The throttle control is located on the engine. It
regulates the speed of the engine.
SAFETY IGNITION SWITCH (See Figure 12)
Figure 11
The ignition key must be inserted in the switch
before the unit will start. Remove the ignition key
when snow thrower is not in use.

The auger control clutch is located on the left
handle. Squeeze the clutch grip to engage the
augers. Release to stop the snow throwing action.

This same lever also locks the auger clutch so you
can turn the chute directional control without
interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger
control clutch is engaged with the traction control
clutch engaged, the operator can release the auger
control clutch (on the left handle) and the augers will
remain engaged. Release the traction control clutch
to stop both the augers and wheel drive (auger
control clutch must also be released).
