Using the Wheel Clutch Levers

The wheel clutch levers allow you to momentarily disengage
the drive to one or both wheels with the traction drive lever
still engaged. This enables you to turn and maneuver the
machine easily.
Note: Holding down the traction lever against the handle
engages the traction drive to both wheels.
To turn the machine to the right, lift up on the right wheel
clutch lever and squeeze it toward the handle (Figure 34).
Note: This disengages the drive to the right wheel while
the left wheel continues driving, and the machine turns to
the right.
Note: Similarly, squeezing the left wheel clutch lever turns
the machine to the left.
When you complete the turn, release the wheel clutch lever,
and the drive re-engages both wheels (Figure 35).
Momentarily squeezing and releasing the left or right wheel
clutch lever also allows for steering adjustments to keep the
machine going in a straight line, especially in deep snow.
Squeezing both wheel clutch levers simultaneously disengages
the drive to both wheels. This enables you to manually move
the machine backward without stopping to shift it into a
reverse gear. It also allows you to maneuver and transport the
machine more easily when the engine is not running.

Operating the Speed Selector

The speed selector has 6 forward and 2 reverse gears. To
change speeds, release the traction lever and shift the speed
selector lever to the desired position (Figure 36). The lever
locks in a notch at each speed selection.

Operating the Auger/Impeller
Drive
1. To engage the auger/ impeller drive, squeeze the
right hand (auger/ impeller) lever to the handgrip
(Figure 37).
2. To stop the auger and impeller, release the right hand
lever.
Important: When you engage both the
auger/impeller lever and the traction lever, the
traction lever locks the auger/impeller lever down,
freeing your right hand. To release both levers,
simply release the left hand (traction) lever.
3. If the auger and impeller continue to rotate when you
release the auger/impeller lever, do not operate the
machine. Check the auger/impeller cable (refer to
Checking and Adjusting the Auger/Impeller Cable)
and adjust it if necessary. Otherwise, take the machine
to an Authorized Dealer for service.
WARNING
If the auger and impeller continue to rotate
when you release the auger/impeller lever, you
could seriously injure yourself or others.
Do not operate the machine. Take it to an
Authorized Service Dealer for service.
