Using the Wheel-Clutch
Levers
The wheel-clutch levers allow you to momentarily
disengage the drive to 1 or both wheels with the
traction-drive lever still engaged. This enables you to
turn and maneuver the machine easily.
Note:
Holding down the traction lever against the
handle engages the traction drive to both wheels.
To turn the machine to the right, lift up the right
wheel-clutch lever and squeeze it toward the handle
(
Figure 16 ).

Note:
This disengages the drive to the right wheel
while the left wheel continues driving, and the machine
turns to the right.
Note:
Similarly, squeezing the left wheel-clutch lever
turns the machine to the left.
When you complete the turn, release the wheel-clutch
lever, and the drive re-engages both wheels (
Figure
17 ).

Momentarily squeezing and releasing the left or right
wheel-clutch lever also allows for steering adjustments
to keep the machine going in a straight line, especially
in deep snow.
Squeezing both wheel-clutch levers simultaneously
disengages the drive to both wheels. 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.
Operating the Speed
Selector
The speed selector has 6 forward and 2 reverse
gears. To change speeds, release the traction lever
and shift the speed-selector lever to the desired
position (
Figure 18 ). The lever locks in a notch at
each speed selection.
