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.
5. To shut off the traction drive, release the
traction-drive lever.
Driving the Machine Rearward
1. Place the speed-selector lever into the desired
reverse-speed range, making sure that the
speed selector locks in the notch.
2. 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
