hand (auger/ impeller) lever to the handgrip (Figure 35).
Figure 35
2. To stop the auger and impeller, release the right hand
lever.
Important:
When you engage both the
auger/impeller lever and the traction lever, the
traction lever locks the auger/impeller lever down,
freeing your right hand. To release both levers,
simply release the left hand (traction) lever.
3. If the auger and impeller continue to rotate when you
release the auger/impeller lever, do not operate the
snowthrower. Check the auger/impeller cable (refer to
Checking and Adjusting the Auger/Impeller Cable) and
adjust it if necessary. Otherwise, take the snowthrower
to an Authorized Dealer for service.
If the auger and impeller continue to rotate when
you release the auger/impeller lever, you could
seriously injure yourself or others.
Do not operate the snowthrower. Take it to an
Authorized Service Dealer for service.
