7. On models equipped with Free Hand controls, when
both the auger (A, Figure 3) and traction control levers
(F) are pressed, the Free Hand control is activated.
This allows you to release the auger control lever to
use other controls. The auger will continue to rotate
until the traction control lever/Free Hand control lever is
released.
8. If desired, use the grip warmer switch (L, Figure 3) to
turn on the heated hand grips (if equipped).
NOTE: Be sure to turn off the heated hand grips before
stopping the snowthrower.
NOTE: Some models are equipped with automatic
heated hand grips that are operational whenever the
snowthrower is running.
9. Some models are equipped with a headlight (O,
Figure 3) to help illuminate the area in front of the
snowthrower. The headlight is operational whenever the
snowthrower is running.
Stopping the Snowthrower
1. Release the auger control lever (A, Figure 3).
2. Release the traction control lever (F).
3. Stop the engine. Please refer to the engine operator's
manual for engine instructions.
Easy Turn™ Traction Control (if equipped)
For easy turning when using the snowthrower, squeeze the
Easy Turn traction control lever (Figure 4).
NOTE: Some models feature Easy Turn traction control
for one wheel only, while other models feature it for both
wheels.
NOTE: Easy Turn traction control will be more difficult
to activate under a heavy load. Activate the lever before
beginning a turn.
Figure 4
Engaging the Easy Turn traction control lever releases
one of the traction wheels, but allows the other wheel to
continue driving. Releasing the Easy Turn traction control
lever automatically engages both drive wheels for full
traction (Figure 5).

Wheel Release - Lock Knob (if equipped)
Some models are equipped with a drive wheel release that
allows you to disengage one of the drive wheels, for easier
transporting of the unit with the engine off.
Models with Traction Lock Knob: Wheels equipped
with a traction lock knob (A, Figure 6) can be completely
released by pulling the knob out away from the wheel until
the locking pin is disengaged from the wheel. Then rotate
the knob so the pin does not re-engage the wheel. Reverse
this process to engage the drive wheel.
