To check the adjustment of the traction control and shift 
lever, proceed as follows:

•

Move the shift lever into sixth (6) position. 

a. With the traction control (refer to Figure 7 in 

Section 4 of this manual) released, gently 
push the snow thrower forward, then pull it 
back. Disregarding the overall weight of the 
snow thrower, the machine should otherwise 
move freely. 

b. Engage the traction control, and attempt to 

move the machine both forward and 
rearward. You should experience resistance 
as the wheels should not be turning.

•

Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2) 
position and repeat the previous steps (a & b). 

If you experienced resistance either when repositioning 
the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when attempting to move 
the machine forward or rearward with the traction 
control released, your snow thrower’s traction control is 

in need of adjustment and you should NOT operate the 
machine before completing the adjustment as follows:

•

Loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable 
and UNTHREAD the cable one full turn. 

•

Recheck the adjustment.

•

Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when 
correct adjustment is reached.

If the machine can be moved freely both forward and 
rearward when the traction control fully depressed, 
proceed as follows:

•

Loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and 
THREAD the cable in one full turn. 

•

Recheck the adjustment and repeat adjustment as 
necessary. 

•

Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when 
correct adjustment is reached.

NOTE: If you are uncertain that you have reached the
correct adjustment, refer to 

The traction control is located on the right handle. 
Squeeze the traction control to engage the wheel drive. 
Release to stop.

This same lever also locks the auger control so you
can turn the chute directional control without
interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger
control is engaged along with the traction control, the
operator can release the auger control (on the left
handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release
the traction control to stop both the augers and wheel
drive (auger control must also be released).

 Always release tractional control before 

changing speeds.

The headlight is on whenever the engine is running.

The shift lever is located in the center of 
the handle panel and is used to 
determine both ground speed and 
direction of travel. It can be moved into 
any of eight positions. 

Your snow thrower has six forward (F) 
speeds. Position number one (1) is the 
slowest. Position number six (6) is the 
fastest.

Your snow thrower has two reverse (R) 
speeds. R1 is the slower, while R2 is the 
faster of the two.

 Always release tractional control before 

changing speeds.

The auger drive clutch is located on the left handle. 
Squeeze the clutch grip to engage the augers. Release 
to stop the snow throwing action. (Traction control must 
also be released.)
