Note:

When you complete the turn, release

the wheel-clutch lever. The traction drive

engages both wheels.

•

Momentarily squeeze and release the left

or right wheel-clutch lever to make steering

adjustments and keep the machine moving

in a straight line, especially in deep snow.

To shut off the traction drive, release the

traction-drive lever.

Driving the Machine Rearward

Place the speed-selector lever into the desired

reverse-speed range, making sure that the

speed selector locks in the notch.

To move rearward, engage the traction drive

and slowly squeeze the left traction lever to the

handle.

Note:

Momentarily squeezing and releasing the

left or right wheel-clutch lever allows for steering

adjustments to keep the machine going in a

straight line.

Note:

To turn right, squeeze the right

wheel-clutch lever toward the handle. This

disengages the drive to the right wheel while the

left wheel continues driving, and the machine

turns to the right.

Note:

Similarly, squeezing the left wheel-clutch

lever turns the machine to the left.

Note:

Squeezing both wheel-clutch levers

simultaneously disengages the drive to both wheels.

This enables you to move the machine rearward

without stopping to shift it into a reverse gear. It also

allows you to maneuver and transport the machine

more easily when the engine is not running.

Pivoting the Machine with the

Engine Shutoff

Squeeze both wheel-clutch levers simultaneously and

pivot the machine
