Adjusting the Discharge Chute and
Deflector
WARNING
Ice, gravel, or other unintended objects can be picked up by
the auger and thrown from the chute with force.
Objects thrown from the chute could cause death, serious
injury, or property damage.
• Always be aware of the direction the snow is being thrown.
1. Rotate the chute rotation crank (I, Figure 5) to set the
direction of the discharge chute.
2. Use the deflector control lever (J) to move the deflector up
or down. Raise the deflector to throw snow further.
3. Use the speed select lever (B) to select the forward or
reverse drive speed. Use lower speeds when clearing wet,
heavy snow. Use higher speeds for light snow or
transporting.
Note: Always release the traction control lever before changing
speeds.
Engaging the Auger and Impeller
The auger and impeller work together to break up the snow as
the snowthrower moves forward and throws it out the discharge
chute.
DANGER
The snowthrower contains a rotating auger and impeller to
throw snow. Fingers or feet can quickly become caught in the
auger or impeller resulting in traumatic amputation or severe
laceration.
1. Fully press the auger control lever (A, Figure 5) on the left
handle to engage the auger and impeller.
2. Release the lever to stop the auger. The auger must stop
within 5 seconds after the auger control is released. If it
does not:
• Adjust the control cable. See Adjusting the Auger and
Traction Cable .
• If the auger still does not stop within 5 seconds, see an
authorized dealer.
Engaging the Drive Wheels
NOTICE Do not move the speed select control while the
traction control is engaged. This may result in damage to the
drive system.
1. To drive forward, shift the speed select control (B, Figure
5) into one of the forward positions. Select a lower number
10
for heavy snow, a middle number for light snow, and a
higher number for moving without snow removal.
2. Press and hold down the traction control (K) on the right
handle.
3. To stop, release the traction control. Unit must stop
immediately. If it does not ;
• Adjust the traction control cable. See Adjusting the
Auger and Traction Cable .
• If the unit still does not stop, see an authorized dealer.
4. To drive backward, shift the speed select control into one
of the reverse positions.
5. Press and hold down the traction control on the right handle.
6. To stop, release the traction control. Unit must stop
immediately. If it does not;
• Adjust the traction control cable. See Adjusting the
Auger and Traction Cable .
• If the unit still does not stop, see an authorized dealer.
NOTICE Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting
to clear snow at too fast of a rate.
Using Free Hand™ Feature
Some models are equipped with the Free Hand™ feature, which
allows the operator to release the auger control to reach other
controls without stopping the unit. If your model is equipped
with Free Hand, it will have the decal shown in Figure 7 affixed
to the dash panel.
