Operating The Auger/Impeller Drive; Operating The Speed Selector - Toro Power Max 38624 Operator's Manual

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).
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.
