Operating the Traction
Drive
CAUTION
If the traction drive is not properly adjusted,
the machine may move in the direction
opposite of what you intended, causing injury
and/or property damage.
Carefully check the traction drive and adjust
it properly, if necessary; refer to
and Adjusting the Traction Cable (page 18)
more information.
Important:
If the machine moves when the
traction lever is in the released position, check the
traction cable; refer to
the Traction Cable (page 18)
to an Authorized Service Dealer for service.

To stop the traction drive, release the traction

Using the Wheel-Clutch
Levers
The wheel-clutch levers allow you to momentarily
disengage the drive to 1 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 the right
wheel-clutch lever and squeeze it toward the handle
(Figure
17).
Checking
Checking and Adjusting
or take the machine
(Figure
16).
Note:
This disengages the drive to the right wheel
while the left wheel continues driving, and the machine
for
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
18).
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 forward and reverse gears.
To change speeds, release the traction lever and
shift the speed-selector lever to the desired position
(Figure
19). The lever locks in a notch at each speed
selection.
