Skid Shoe The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted by positioning the skid shoes. Refer to Skid Shoe Adjustment on page 10. Track Drive Control / Auger Clutch Lock Chute Assembly Snow drawn into the auger housing is discharged out the chute assembly. Track Steering Controls The track drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the control grip against the handle to engage the track drive. Release to stop. NOTE: Always release the drive control before changing speeds. Failure to do so will result in increased wear on your machine's drive system. The drive control also locks the auger control so that you can operate the chute control handle without interrupting the snow throwing process. If the auger control is engaged simultaneously with the drive control, the operator can release the auger control (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release both controls to stop the augers and the track drive. Auger Control The left and right track steering controls are located on the underside of the handles and they are used to assist in steering the snow thrower. Squeeze the right track control when turning right, squeeze the left control when turning left. Operate your snow thrower in open areas until you become familiar with these controls. NOTE: It is easier to maneuver a non-running snow thrower with both track steering controls held in simultaneously. Chute Directional Control The auger control is located on the left handle. Squeeze the control grip against the handle to engage the augers and start snow throwing action. Release to stop. Augers When engaged, the augers rotate and draw snow into the auger housing. The chute directional control is located on the left side of the dash panel. • To change the direction in which snow is thrown, squeeze the button on the joy-stick and pivot the joy-stick to the right or to the left. • To change the angle/distance which snow is thrown, pivot the joy-stick forward or backward.
