• Traction Control Lever (Fig. 15)—To engage the
traction (wheel drive), press the lever against the left
handgrip. To stop the traction, release the lever.
• Speed Selector (Fig. 15)—This control has 7 positions:
5 forward and 2 reverse gears. To change speeds, move
the speed selector to the desired position. The lever
locks in a notch at each speed selection. The speed
selector may shift with difficulty in heavy load
conditions.
Note: Before shifting gears into or out of reverse, you
must release the traction control lever. You may shift
between any of the forward speeds without releasing the
traction control lever.
• Discharge Chute Control (Fig. 15)—Rotate the
discharge chute control clockwise to move the
discharge chute to the left; counterclockwise to move
the chute to the right.
• Chute Deflector Handle (Fig. 15)—Move the deflector
handle forward to move the snow stream down; move it
rearward to move the snow stream up.
• Fuel Shutoff Valve (Fig. 15)—Close the valve by
rotating it clockwise. Open the valve by rotating it
counterclockwise. Close the valve when you do not use
the snowthrower.

increase the engine speed; move it downward to
decrease the engine speed. Move the throttle to the Stop
position to stop the engine.
