Pull both steering control levers at the same time to momentarily
disengage the transmission. With the transmission disengaged, the
snow blower is free to maneuver (push or pull) by hand with or without
the engine running.
NOTE:
Engaging the steering control levers only stops power
transmission to the track or wheel; it does not apply a brake.
Under high traction conditions, such as on asphalt or
concrete, steering movement will be subtle and may require
additional force be applied by the user to turn the snow
blower.
Height Adjusting Lever
(Track-type models)
Use the infinitely variable height adjusting lever to change the height
of the auger housing.
1. Hold the handlebar with both hands and depress the lever with
your left thumb.
2. Move the handle up or down as needed to obtain the desired auger
height position.
3. Release the lever to lock the height of the auger in position.
• LOWER:
Hard snow or fine finish
• MIDDLE:
Normal use
• HIGHER:
Deep snow or for transporting the snow blower
If the handlebar is lifted while depressing the height adjusting lever,
the auger can contact the ground. This may be desirable under
certain conditions to achieve maximum snow removal from the
surface; however, be sure the surface is very smooth and ice covered.
Otherwise, the auger teeth may become damaged. Under most
conditions, use the MIDDLE position by simply depressing the lever
and allowing the auger to rest on the ground, without lifting the
handlebars.
NOTICE
Do not pull on the gas-assisted damper or tie it with a rope, or it may
cause functional damage of the assembly.

WARNING
An obstructed auger or blower could suddenly move
when the obstruction is cleared.
Sudden auger or blower movement can cause severe
