CONTROLS LOCATION & OPERATION
2 - 2 Snow Commander Service Manual
Starting the Rotor Blades
To start the rotor blades, squeeze the control bar
toward the handle until the snowthrower begins to
pivot.
Stopping the Rotor Blades
To stop the rotor blades, release the control bar.
Note: When you release the control bar, the rotor
blades stop, but the engine continues to run.
Starting the Traction Drive
To start the traction drive, slowly squeeze the control
bar toward the handle. The front of the snowthrower
pivots downward. When the rotor blades touch the
ground, the snowthrower begins to move forward.
Squeezing the control bar completely to the handle
provides maximum traction.
Note: The traction is most aggressive (the traction
speed is fastest) when the rotor blades are new. If you
want to reduce the aggressiveness of the traction, refer
to "Adjusting the Pivot Cable" on page 7 - 3.
Stopping the Traction Drive
To stop the traction drive, partially release the control
bar until the rotor blades lift off the ground, disengaging
the traction drive. Releasing the control bar completely
stops both the traction drive and the rotor blades.
Adjusting the Discharge Chute
Chute Handle
On models equipped with a manual chute, move the
chute handle left and right to adjust the direction of the
snow stream (Figure 6). The chute deflector handle on
top of the discharge chute controls the height of the
snow stream. Do not overtighten the chute deflector
mounting locknuts.

Do not use the chute handle to lift the

and the snowthrower.
