control grip against the handle to engage the augers and start
snow throwing action. Release to stop.
Drive Control / Auger Clutch Lock
The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the

the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will remain
engaged. Release both controls to stop the augers and wheel
drive.

Failure to do so will result in increased wear on your machine’s
drive system.
