Auger Control
The auger control is located on the left handle. Squeeze the
control grip against the handle to engage the augers and start
snow throwing action. Release to stop.
Drive Control / Auger Clutch Lock
The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the
control grip against the handle to engage the track drive. Release
to stop.
The drive control also locks the auger control so that you can
operate the chute directional control without interrupting
the snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged
simultaneously with the drive control, the operator can release
the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will remain
engaged. Release both controls to stop the augers and track
drive.
Note: Always release the drive control before changing speeds.
Failure to do so will result in increased wear on your machine's
drive system.
Steering Trigger Controls
The left and right steering trigger controls are located on the
underside of the handles.
Squeeze the right control to turn right.
Squeeze the left control to turn left.
CAUTION:
Operate the snow thrower in open
areas until you are familiar with these controls.

counterclockwise to change the direction in which snow is

Drift Cutters (If equipped)
The drift cutters are designed for use in deep snow. Their use

to assist snow falling into the augers for throwing.
