The drive control is located on the right handle. Squeeze the control grip against the
handle to engage the wheel drive. Release to stop.
*On select models, 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.
NOTE: Always release the drive control before changing speeds. Failure to do so will
result in increased wear on your machine's drive system.
