The shift lever is located in the metal bar and is used to determine both ground speed and direction of travel.
It can be moved into any of 6 positions.

Your snow thrower has four (4) forward (F) speeds, with position number one (2) being the slowest speed.
You are advised to throw snow with the slowest speed.

Your snow thrower has two (2) reverse (R) speeds, with position number one (1) being the slowest speed.
Important:
Always release the drive control before changing speeds.
Chute Directional Control
The chute directional control is located on the left side of the snow thrower.
To change the direction in which snow is thrown, turn chute directional control as follows:
-
Crank clockwise to discharge to the left.
-
Crank counterclockwise to discharge to the right.
Chute Deflector control
The chute deflector controls the snow throwing height. Raise or lower the deflector to the desired height of
snow stream and tighten the chute deflector knobs. See figure 13.
