Traction Control / Auger Control Lock
Auger Control
The traction control is located on the right handle. See
Figure 9. Squeeze the traction control to engage the
wheel drive. Release to stop.
The auger control is located on the left handle.
Squeeze the clutch grip to engage the augers. Release
to stop the snow throwing action. The traction control
must also be released in order to stop the auger.
This same lever also locks the auger control so you can
operate the electric chute rotation switch 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).
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 for
speed and direction variations as described
below. Always release traction control before
changing speeds.
IMPORTANT: Always release traction control before
changing speeds.
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 faster.
