OPERATION Features Snow blower controls and features are described below and may be illustrated in Figure 62. NOTE: This Operator's Manual covers several models. Snow blower features may vary by model. Not all features in this manual are applicable to all snow blower models and the snow blower depicted may differ from yours. NOTE: All references to the left or right side of the snow blower are from the operator's position. Any exceptions will be noted. A. ENGINE CONTROLS Refer to your Engine Operator's Manual for location and description of engine controls pertaining to your engine. B. CHUTE ASSEMBLY Snow gathered into the auger and impeller housings is discharged out the chute assembly. C. SKID SHOES Skid shoes provide the proper clearance of the shave plate for the surface conditions and the snow to be cleared. Adjust upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces. Refer to Skid Shoes on page 15. D. AUGERS When engaged, the augers rotate and gather snow into the auger and impeller housings. E. DRIVE CONTROL LEVER/AUGER CLUTCH LOCK* (IF EQUIPPED) The drive control lever is located on the right handle. Squeeze the control lever down against the handle to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop (Figure 63). F. AUGER CONTROL LEVER The auger control lever down is located on the left handle. Squeeze the control lever against the handle to engage the augers and start snow blowing action. Release to stop (Figure 64). Figure 64 IMPORTANT: Refer to the Auger Control information in the Assembly & Set-Up section prior to operating your snow blower. Read and follow all instructions carefully and perform all adjustments to verify your snow blower is operating safely and properly. G. SHIFT LEVER (6-SPEED TRANSMISSION) (IF EQUIPPED) The shift lever is located on the handle panel and is used to determine ground speed and direction of travel. • Forward There are six forward (F) speeds. Position one (1) is the slowest and position six (6) is the fastest. • Reverse There are two reverse (R) speeds. Position one (1) is the slowest and position two (2) is the fastest. H. SHIFT LEVER (HYDRO TRANSMISSION) (IF EQUIPPED) The shift lever is located on the handle panel and is used to determine ground speed and direction of travel. The further forward the lever is moved the faster it will travel. Moving past the detent position to the reverse direction will move the snow blower in reverse. Figure 63 NOTE: Always release drive control lever before changing speeds on all models except the hydro transmission models. Failure to do so will result in increased wear on your machine's drive system. *On select models, the drive control lever also locks the auger control lever so that you can operate the chute control without interrupting the snow blowing process. When both the auger and drive levers are engaged at any time, the operator can release the auger control lever (on the left handle) and the augers will remain engaged. Release both control levers to stop augers and wheel drive. I. HEADLIGHT (SINGLE OR DUAL) (IF EQUIPPED) The headlight(s) located on the front of the handle panel is/are automatically turned ON when the engine is started. 21
