Auger Control - Cub Cadet 31BH57TU596 Operator's Manual

Drift Cutters (if so equipped)
The drift cutters are designed for use in deep snow. Their use
is optional for normal snow conditions. Maneuver the snow
thrower so that the cutters penetrate a high standing snow drift
to assist snow falling into the augers for throwing.
Heated Grips (if so equipped)
This switch is located on the rear of the snow thrower dash panel.
To activate the heated handles, toggle the switch to the "ON"
position to generate heat within the handle grips. Toggle the
switch to the "OFF" position after using the snow thrower.

Auger Control

The auger control is located on the left handle. Squeeze the
control grip against the handle to engage the augers and start
snow throwing action. Release to stop.
Drive Control / Auger Clutch Lock
The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the
control grip against the handle to engage the wheel drive.
Release to stop.
The drive control also locks the auger control so that you can
operate the chute directional control without interrupting
the snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged
simultaneously with the drive control, the operator can release
the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will remain
engaged. Release both controls to stop the augers and wheel
drive.
NOTE: Always release the drive control before changing speeds.
Failure to do so will result in increased wear on your machine's
drive system.
Steering Trigger Controls
The left and right wheel steering trigger controls are located on
the underside of the handles.
• Squeeze the right control to turn right.
• Squeeze the left control to turn left.
CAUTION:
Operate the snow thrower in open areas
until you are familiar with these controls.
