OPERATION

DRIVE CONTROL/ AUGER CONTROL 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 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.
CHUTE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
The chute directional control is located on left side of the snow thrower.
To change the direction in which snow is thrown, turn chute directional
control.
