Operation
Squeezing both wheel clutch levers simultaneously
disengages the drive to both wheels (free-wheeling).
This enables you to manually move the machine
backward without stopping to shift it into a reverse
gear. It also allows you to maneuver and transport the
machine more easily when the engine is not running.

Broom Drive Lever
Located above the RH handle (see Figure 4).
To engage the broom, squeeze the lever to the handle.
To disengage the broom, release the RH lever.
Traction Drive Lever
Located above the LH handle (see Figure 4).
The traction drive lever controls the forward and
reverse motion of the machine. To engage the
traction drive, squeeze the lever to the handle.
Note:
Holding down the traction drive lever against
the handle engages the traction drive to both wheels.
Speed Selector Lever
Located on the main console panel (see Figure 4).
The speed selector has six forward and two reverse
settings. To change speeds, release the traction drive
lever and shift the speed selector lever to the desired
setting. The lever locks in a notch at each speed
setting.
Broom Angle Lever
Located on the RH handle (see Figure 4).
The broom angle lever allows the broom to rotate and
lock 19 degrees to the right or left or straight ahead.
Pre-Start
Refer to the engine manual to properly position the
air cleaner cover for summer and winter operation.
Fill fuel tank on level ground.
Fuel Recommendations:
• For best results, use only clean, fresh, unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher
((R+M)/2 rating method).
• Oxygenated fuel with up to 10% ethanol or 15%
MTBE by volume is acceptable.
• Do Not use ethanol blends of gasoline (such as
E15, E20, or E85) with more than 10% ethanol
by volume. Performance problems and/or engine
damage may result which may not be covered
under warranty.
• Do Not use gasoline containing methanol.
• Do Not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel
containers over the winter unless a fuel stabilizer
is used.
• Do Not add oil to gasoline.
• Do Not overfill fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank until
the level is 5/8 inch (16 mm) from top of tank.
The empty space in the tank allows gasoline to
expand. Overfilling may result in fuel leakage or
damage to the engine or emission system.
Make sure you understand the controls, their
locations, their functions, and their safety
requirements.
