This snow blower is equipped with variable-speed self-propel capability. This system is independent of
the auger ; it is not dependent on auger rotation. For example, when you have completed cleaning of the
driveway, you can use the self-propel function to propel the snow blower to your storage location without
activating the auger.
To operate the self-propel system:
1. Ensure the snow blower on/off switch in the "on" position.
2. Squeeze the drive control trigger against the grip to start self-propel function.
3. Release the drive control trigger to stop the self-propel function.
The self-propel system has variable speed. To change the speed of the self-propel:
1. Release the drive control trigger and stop the self-propel function.
2. Move the speed shift handle to the desired setting. (Fig. 22)
3. Squeeze and hold the drive control trigger.
To move the snow blower backward:
1. Release the drive control trigger and stop the self-propel function.
2. Move the speed shift handle to the R1 position.
3. Squeeze and hold the drive control trigger.
NOTICE:
The speed is fixed when operating the snow blower with self- propel; the self-propel
speed-control lever cannot change the speed while in motion. NEVER re-position the shift lever
(change speeds or direction of travel) without first releasing the drive control and bringing the snow
blower to a complete stop. Doing so will result in premature wear to the drive system.
