Shift Lever
Forward and reverse directions can be selected by shifting the shift
lever. The lever will remain in any designated position. Actual
movement of the snow blower takes effect when the drive clutch lever
is engaged.
Set the lever in “N” (Neutral) when the snow blower is not in use and
when starting.
Chute Control Switch
Use the chute
control switch to
turn the snow
discharge chute
right or left and up
or down.
The engine must be
running to operate
the chute control
switch. Chute
movement speed
will increase with
engine speed. For
maximum speed,
move the
throttle/choke lever
to the fastest position when using the chute control switch.
Drive Clutch Lever
Depress the drive clutch lever to move the snow blower forward or
backward based on the position of the shift lever (see above).
When transporting the snow blower, depress the drive clutch lever
without the auger clutch lever.
Auger Clutch Lever
Depress the auger clutch lever to start the snow blowing mechanism.
If the drive clutch lever is engaged, the auger clutch lever will lock
engaged when it is depressed. However, the auger clutch lever will
unlock when the drive clutch lever is released.
When both levers are depressed, the drive clutch lever locks the
auger clutch lever down. Releasing the drive clutch lever then unlocks
and releases the auger clutch lever.
Steering Control Levers
When both steering
control levers are
released, the snow
blower will advance in
a straight line in either
a forward or reverse
direction depending on
the position of the shift
lever.

the handlebar to turn
the snow blower to the
left.
Pull the right steering
control lever against
the handlebar to turn
the snow blower to the

or release the steering
control levers. Always
