Discharge Chute Control
IMPORTANT:  If chute does not stay in set position, 
adjust as directed in SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS 
on page 22,
 or repair before operation.
Rotate the Chute with Discharge Chute Control.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT force frozen chute controls. If 
frozen, take to warm place until controls are free.
Heated Handles (926002, 003, 014, 015, 016, 
500, 501)
Turn the heated handles switch to the 
ON (1) position to activate. Turn the 
switch to the OFF (2) position to 
deactivate.
Remote Differential (926013, 014, 015, 016, 
500, 501)
Squeeze and hold the remote differential lever to lock 
differential so both wheels drive and provide better 
traction. Release the remote differential lever to allow 
easier steering.
If remote differential does not engage or disengage 
properly, adjust or repair before operation (see 
REMOTE DIFFERENTIAL (926013, 014, 015, 016, 
500, 501)
 on page 23)
.
Remote Wheel Lock (926002, 003)
Squeeze and release the remote wheel lock to lock the 
left wheel for better traction when throwing snow or to 
unlock the left wheel for easier steering. 
NOTE: The wheel lock will not release when under 
load. Do not unlock the wheel while turning. If the 
wheel lock will not release, turn the unit slightly left or 
right to relieve axle load and release the axle lock.
If remote wheel lock does not lock or unlock properly, 
adjust or repair before operation (see REMOTE 
WHEEL LOCK (926002, 003)
 on page 23
).
Axle Lock Pin (926001)
Use the axle lock pin to lock or unlock the right or left 
wheel. Lock both wheels to increase traction; unlock 
one wheel to allow for easier turning of the unit.
NOTE: Unit will not drive with both wheels unlocked.
Scraper Blade
The scraper blade allows the back of the housing to 
keep better contact with the surface being cleared. It 
also prevents damage to the housing from normal 
wear.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow Scraper Blade to wear 
too far or Auger/Impeller housing will become 
damaged.
Runners
The runners control the distance between the scraper 
blade and the ground. Adjust runners equally to keep 
blade level with the ground. Refer to Pre-Start on 
page 16 for
 recommended settings.
Drift Cutters (Figure 15)
Drift cutters break up snow drifts that are taller than the 
auger housing and direct the snow into the auger. Store 
the drift cutters on the auger housing when not in use. 
Install them as shown below so they are taller than the 
snow to be cleared.
