While Clearing Snow:
For easy turning when using the snowthrower, squeeze
the Easy Turn
TM
lever (Figure 6). Engaging the Easy
Turn
TM
lever releases the right traction wheel but allows
the left wheel to continue driving (Figure 6). Releasing
the Easy Turn
TM
lever automatically engages both drive
wheels for full traction.
NOTE: The Easy Turn
TM
lever will be more difficult to
activate under a heavy load. Activate the lever before
beginning a turn.

For easy turning when pushing the snowthrower, disen-
gage the right wheel using the traction lock pin (See
Figure 7.)
1. Turn the unit off, remove the engine key, and discon-
nect the spark plug wire.
