Auger drive engagement
WARNING
STOP THE ENGINE AND REMOVE THE
SPARK PLUG WIRE FROM THE SPARK
PLUG BEFORE REMOVING ANY DEBRIS
FROM THE AUGER HOUSING.
1. Remove any debris from inside the
auger housing.
2. Adjust the discharge chute deflector
cap (RR, Fig. 4-6) angle with
adjustment lever (SS, Fig. 4-6). The
discharge chute deflector cap should
usually be adjusted to a low angle, so
it is not pointing at any persons,
animals, buildings or vehicle,
especially in windy conditions.
NOTE: If the auger does not start or stop
rotating as described in Steps 3 and 4
below, an adjustment is required. Refer
to "Auger Drive Belt Adjustment" in the
Maintenance section.
3. Engage the auger drive by squeezing
the auger drive control lever (H, Fig. 4-
4) down against the handlebar. The
auger should immediately begin to
rotate.
4. Disengage the auger drive by releasing
the auger drive control lever (H). The
auger should stop within five (5)
seconds.

Auger drive/Wheel drive
interlock feature
The auger drive/wheel drive interlock
feature allows the auger and the wheels to
be operated with just one hand, thus
freeing the other hand to operate the chute
control crank rod. To engage both
functions, squeeze both the auger and the
wheel drive levers all the way down.
Holding just the wheel drive lever will keep
G
both levers down in the drive position. To
disengage, release the wheel drive lever.
NOTE: If the auger drive control lever
