Stopping the Engine

throttle to the Stop

position.

2. Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving

the operating position.

3. Close the fuel

shutoff valve by

rotating it

clockwise.

Operating the Traction

Drive

Note: To operate the traction drive, you must operate

the snowthrower with both wheel clutch levers in the

released position. Refer to Using the Wheel Clutch

Levers on page 13.

1. To engage the

traction drive,

squeeze the left

hand (traction)

lever down to the

handgrip.

2. To stop the traction drive, release the traction

lever.

3. Check to ensure that the speed selector operates

properly:

• If the snowthrower does not move or moves

forward when it is in Position R1, remove the

trunnion from the speed selector lever, turn

the trunnion downward (clockwise) on the

speed control rod, then install the trunnion.

• If the snowthrower does not move or moves

rearward when it is in Position 1 (forward),

remove the trunnion from the speed selector

lever, turn the trunnion upward

(counterclockwise) on the speed control rod,

then install the trunnion.

Note: Refer to the relevant steps in Installing the

Traction Control Linkage on page 8.

Note: If the snowthrower moves when the traction

lever is in the released position, check the traction

cable (refer to Checking and Adjusting the Traction

Cable on page 17) or take the snowthrower to an

Authorized Service Dealer for service.
