Drive Control / Auger Control Lock
The drive control is located on the right handle.
Squeeze the drive control to engage the wheel drive.
Release to stop.
This same lever also locks the auger control so you can
operate the chute crank 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 the drive control
to stop the augers and wheel drive (the auger control
must also be released).
IMPORTANT:
Always release the drive control before
changing speeds.

WARNING:
Maximum tire pressure under
any circumstance is 30 psi. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained at all times. Excessive
pressure (over 30 psi) when seating beads
may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force
sufficient to cause serious injury.

Be familiar with all the controls on the snow thrower and their proper operation. Know how to
stop the machine and disengage them quickly.
