Skid Shoe
The space between the shave plate and the ground can be
adjusted by positioning the skid shoes. Refer to Skid Shoe
Adjustment on page 10.
Track Drive Control / Auger Clutch Lock
The track drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze
the control grip against the handle to engage the track drive.
Release to stop.
NOTE:
Always release the drive control before changing speeds.
Failure to do so will result in increased wear on your machine’s
drive system.
The drive control also locks the auger control so that you can
operate the chute control handle without interrupting the snow
throwing process. If the auger control is engaged simultaneously
with the drive control, the operator can release the auger control
(on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release
both controls to stop the augers and the track drive.
Auger Control
The auger control is located on the left handle. Squeeze the
control grip against the handle to engage the augers and start
snow throwing action. Release to stop.
Augers
When engaged, the augers rotate and draw snow into the auger
housing.
Chute Assembly
Snow drawn into the auger housing is discharged out the chute
assembly.
Track Steering Controls
The left and right track steering controls are located on the
underside of the handles and they are used to assist in steering
the snow thrower. Squeeze the right track control when turning
right, squeeze the left control when turning left. Operate your
snow thrower in open areas until you become familiar with these
controls.
NOTE:
It is easier to maneuver a non-running snow thrower with
both track steering controls held in simultaneously.
Chute Directional Control
The chute directional control is located on the left side of the
dash panel.
To change the direction in which snow is thrown, squeeze
•
the button on the joy-stick and pivot the joy-stick to the
right or to the left.
To change the angle/distance which snow is thrown, pivot
•
the joy-stick forward or backward.
