Determining Which Test to Use
Please select the appropriate Safety System Test for your
unit:
Models without Free Hand™ Control: On units without
Free Hand, the auger and traction controls operate
independently, and the Free Hand icon set shown in Figure
2 is not found on the dashboard.
Models with Free Hand™ Control: After engaging the
traction control (left hand) and auger control (right hand),
Free Hand allows the operator to release the auger control,
and for the auger control to remain engaged until the
traction control is released. Free Hand models have the
icon set shown in Figure 2 on the dashboard.
