Operating the Traction

Important: To operate the traction drive, you must
operate the snowthrower with the self-propel feature
engaged. Refer to Freewheeling or Using the
Self-propel Drive on page 9.
1. To engage the
traction drive,
squeeze the left
hand (traction)
lever to the
handgrip.
2. To stop the traction drive, release the traction
lever.
3. Check to ensure that the speed selector operates
properly:
•
If the snowthrower does not move or moves
forward when it is in Position R1, remove the
trunnion from the speed selector lever, turn
the trunnion downward (clockwise) on the
speed control rod, then install the trunnion.
•
If the snowthrower does not move or moves
rearward when it is in Position 1 (forward),
remove the trunnion from the speed selector
lever, turn the trunnion upward
(counterclockwise) on the speed control rod,
then install the trunnion.
Note: Refer to the relevant steps in Installing the
Traction Control Linkage on page 8.
Note: If the snowthrower moves when the traction
lever is in the released position, check the traction
cable (refer to Checking and Adjusting the Traction
Cable on page 15) or take the snowthrower to an
Authorized Service Dealer for service.

drive, squeeze the
right hand (auger/

the handgrip.
2. To stop the auger and impeller, release the right

the auger/impeller lever down, freeing your right
hand. To release both levers, simply release the left

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

seriously injure yourself or others.
Do not operate the snowthrower. Take it to an
