While Clearing Snow:
For easy turning when using the snowthrower, squeeze
the Easy Turn
TM
lever (Figure 25). Engaging the

allows the right wheel to continue driving (Figure 25).
Releasing the Easy Turn 7Mlever automatically engages
both drive wheels for full traction.

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, dis-
engage the right wheel using the traction lock pin (See

nect the spark plug wire.
