TRACK LOCK LEVER
SHIFT LEVER (See figure 14)
The track lock lever is located on the right side of
the snow thrower and is used to select the position
of the housing and the method of track operation.
See figure 15. Move the lever to the right, then
forward or backward to one of the three positions.
Transport—Raises the front end of the snow
thrower for easy transport. May also be used on
gravel driveways to clear snow and leave gravel
undisturbed.
Normal Snow—Allows the tracks to be suspended
independently for continuous ground contact.
Packed Snow—Locks the front end of the snow
thrower down to the ground for hard-packed or icy
snow conditions.
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
