Snow blower controls and features are
described below and illustrated in Figure 3-1.
NOTE: This Operator's Manual covers several
models. Snow blower features may vary by
model. Not all features in this manual are
applicable to all snow blower models and the
snow blower depicted may differ from yours.
NOTE: All references to the left or right side
of the snow blower are from the operator's
position. Any exceptions will be noted.
Engine Controls
Refer to the Engine Operator's Manual for
details regarding all engine-related controls
and features.
Shift Lever (6-Speed
Transmission) (If Equipped)
The shift lever is located on the handle panel
and is used to determine ground speed and
direction of travel.
Forward
There are six forward (F) speeds. Position
one (1) is the slowest and position six (6) is the
fastest.
Reverse
There are two reverse (R) speeds. Position one
(1) is the slowest and position two (2) is the
fastest.
Shift Lever (Hydro Transmission)
(If Equipped)
The shift lever is located on the handle panel
and is used to determine ground speed and
direction of travel. The further forward the
lever is the faster the unit will travel. Moving
past the detent position to the reverse
direction will move the unit in reverse.
Chute Assembly
Snow drawn into the auger housing is
discharged out the chute assembly.
Skid Shoes
Position skid shoes based on surface
conditions. Adjust upward for hard-packed
snow. Adjust downward when operating on
gravel or crushed rock surfaces. See Skid Shoe
Adjustment section on page 13 Figure 2-49.
Augers
When engaged, the augers rotate and draw
snow into the auger housing.
Headlight (Single or Double)
(If Equipped)
The headlight is located on the front of the
handle panel and is automatically turned ON
when the engine is started.
LED Light Bar (If Equipped)
The LED headlight is located on top of the
auger housing and is automatically turned ON
when the engine is started.
Drift Cutters (If Equipped)
The drift cutters are designed for use in deep
snow. Their use is optional for normal snow
conditions. Maneuver unit so that the cutters
penetrate a high standing snow drift to assist
snow falling into the augers for throwing.
Heated Grips (If Equipped)
CAUTION
It is recommended that you wear gloves when using
the heated grip. If the heated grips become too hot,
turn it OFF.
To activate the heated grips, move switch
found on top (a) of or on the rear (b) of dash
panel into the ON position. See Figure 3-2. To
turn OFF heated grips, move switch to the OFF
position.

Auger Control Lever
(If Equipped)
The auger control lever is located on the left
handle. Squeeze the control lever against the
handle to engage the augers and start snow
throwing action. Release to stop. See Figure
3-3.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the Auger Control
information in the Assembly & Set-Up section
Page 14 prior to operating your snow blower.
Read and follow all instructions carefully and
perform all adjustments to verify your snow
blower is operating safely and properly.
Drive Control Lever/Auger Clutch
Lock* (If Equipped)
The drive control lever is located on the right
handle. Squeeze the control lever against the
handle to engage the wheel drive. Release to
stop. See Figure 3-4.
*On select models, the drive control lever also
locks the auger control lever so that you can
operate the chute directional control without
interrupting the snow throwing process. If the
auger control lever is engaged simultaneously
with the drive control lever, the operator can
(a)
release the auger control lever (on the left
handle) and the augers will remain engaged.
Release both control levers to stop augers and
wheel drive.
NOTE: Always release drive control lever
before changing speeds on all units except the
800-series hydro. Failure to do so will result
in increased wear on your machine's drive
system.
