Attention: Release (disengage) the auger and drive control lever (handles) before adjusting
the drive speed control lever. NEVER change the drive/gear speed while your snow
thrower is in motion, as it will damage the drive mechanism and void the warranty.
DRIVE SPEED/GEAR CONTROL
Move the drive speed control lever to the desired speed. There are
eight (8) settings: six (6) forward speeds and two (2) reverse speeds.
1 is the slowest forward speed and 6 is the fastest forward speed. R1
is the slowest reverse speed and R2 is the fastest reverse speed.
Note: There is no neutral drive setting since the drive control
handle must be engaged for movement. Neutral is achieved
when the drive control handle is disengaged.
CHUTE DISCHARGE DIRECTION ADJUSTMENT
WARNING - Never direct the snow discharge chute at the operator, bystanders,
vehicles or nearby windows. Discharged snow and foreign objects accidentally
picked up by the Snow Thrower can cause serious damage and severe bodily injury.
Always point the discharge chute in the opposite direction from potential hazards.
The discharge chute can be adjusted 180º by rotating the chute rotation handle.
Rotate the chute rotation handle clockwise to move the discharge chute to the right;
counterclockwise to move the chute to the left.
