Drive / Auger Control Lock
The drive control is located on the right handle.
Squeeze down the drive control to engage the wheel
drive. Release to stop.
The drive control also locks the auger control so you
can operate the chute directional control 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 wheel
drive.
IMPORTANT: Always release the drive control before
