NOTICE
DO NOT move the speed control lever while the
traction control lever is engaged. This can result in damage
to the drive system.
1. To move the snowthrower forward, set the speed control
lever (B, Figure 11) to one of the forward positions.
2. Select a lower number for heavy snow, a middle number
for light snow, and a higher number to transport the
snowthrower.
3. Push and hold down the traction control lever (F).
4. To move the snowthrower in reverse, set the speed
control lever to R1 or R2.
5. Push and hold down the traction control lever.

lever. The unit will stop immediately.
If the unit does not stop, adjust the control cable.

If the unit still does not stop, see an Authorized
Service Dealer.
Note: If you remove snow at too fast of a rate, it will overload
the machine capacity.

use your hands to clean a clogged discharge chute! Always

key.
