in the area of the control levers. Also, move control
levers back and forth several times.
To Engage Track Drive
With the engine running near top speed, move the
shift lever into one of the six FORWARD positions
or two REVERSE positions. Select a speed
appropriate for the snow conditions that exist.
When disconnecting the power cord, always unplug
from the three-prong receptacle first and then from
the snow thrower.
NOTE: Use slower speeds in higher snow and until you
are familiar with the operation of the snow thrower.
Squeeze the traction control against the right
handle and the snow thrower will move. Release it
and the drive motion will stop.

Rotate choke knob to FULL choke position (cold
engine start). If engine is warm, place choke in OFF
position instead of FULL.
Push primer button two or three times. If engine is
warm, push primer button once only.
