GROUND SPEED CONTROLS
A. Speed Selector - This lever (A, Figures 2 & 3) is
used to set the ground speed of the snowthrower.
The snowthrower has five forward speeds, 1-5, and
two reverse speeds, 1-2. No neutral position or gate
is required, since the traction drive design automati-
cally provides "neutral" (no forward or reverse move-
ment), whenever the drive control is released.
B. Traction & Free Hand
TM
Control - This control
engages the traction drive as the lever (B, Figures 2
& 3) is depressed, and disengages the traction drive
when the lever is released. When both levers are
depressed the Free Hand
TM
control is activated. This
allows the auger control to be released yet the auger
remains engaged until the traction Free Hand
TM
is
released. NOTE: Changing ground speeds must only
be done while the drive control is in the disengaged
(fully released) position.
AUGER CONTROL
C. Auger Control - The auger control clutch lever (C
Figures 2 & 3), engages the auger drive when the
lever is depressed and disengages the auger drive
when the lever is released (unless Traction Free
Hand
TM
control is also depressed-see above).
DEFLECTOR CONTROLS
D. Chute Direction Control - The chute direction con-
trol (D, Figures 2 & 3), allows the discharge chute to
be rotated to throw snow in the desired direction.
Snow may be thrown at any angle from straight left,
to straight forward, to straight right.
E. Chute Deflector - Controls the distance snow is
thrown. Tilting the chute deflector (E, Figure 3) UP
provides a higher stream and greater distance, while
tilting the deflector DOWN provides a lower stream
and less distance.
F. Chute Deflector Knob - This knob (F, Figure 3)
allows the discharge chute deflector (E) to be locked
in the desired tilt position.
SCRAPER HEIGHT
G, H. Scraper Bar Height Control - The skid shoes (G,
Figure 3) control the height of the scraper bar (H).
(NOTE: On later models, the scraper bar is also
adjustable.) The scraper bar allows smooth surfaces
(such as concrete or asphalt driveways) to be
scraped clean of snow. On surfaces such as gravel,
the scraper bar should be adjusted higher -- so that
it will not pick up gravel or debris.

TRACTION LOCK CONTROL
Traction Lock Pins - The traction drive to each
wheel can be locked and unlocked with the traction
lock pins (I, Figure 3) to permit the unit to "free-
wheel',' allowing easier manual handling and transport
of the snowthrower.
