Note: This disengages the drive to the right wheel while
the left wheel continues driving, and the snowthrower turns
to the right.
Note: Similarly, squeezing the left wheel clutch lever turns
the snowthrower to the left.
When you complete the turn, release the wheel clutch lever,
and the drive re-engages both wheels (Figure 35).
Figure 35
Momentarily squeezing and releasing the left or right wheel
clutch lever also allows for steering adjustments to keep the
snowthrower 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 snowthrower backward without
stopping to shift it into a reverse gear. It also allows you to
maneuver and transport the snowthrower 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).
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
snowthrower. Check the auger/impeller cable (refer to
Checking and Adjusting the Auger/Impeller Cable) and
adjust it if necessary. Otherwise, take the snowthrower
to an Authorized Dealer for service.
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 snowthrower. Take it to an
Authorized Service Dealer for service.
Operating the Quick Stick™
Hold the blue trigger cap down to use the Quick Stick to
move the discharge chute and the chute deflector. Release
the trigger cap to lock the discharge chute and chute
deflector into position (Figure 38).
