The lever has two ranges, slow range and fast range.
The speed of the snowblower can be increased and decreased in any
of these two speed ranges.
To drive forward:

To reverse:
Move the main shift lever slowly rearward from the N (neutral)
position.
Set the main shift lever in the N (neutral) position while the
snowblower is not in operation.
Set the travel speed by setting the main shift lever to the desired
position within the low speed range according to the nature of the
snow, and clear the snow.
Set the travel speed according to the road surface condition and
environment before moving the snowblower.
