• Traction Control Lever (Fig. 13)—To engage the
traction (wheel drive), press the lever against the left
handgrip. To stop the traction, release the lever.
• Speed Shift Control (Fig. 13)—This control has a
neutral position, four forward speeds, and two reverse
speeds. It also controls the power shifting of the
wheels. To select a speed, move the shift control to the
desired position.
Note: Before shifting the gears into or out of reverse, or
when using the Power Shift feature, release the traction
drive control. You man shift between any of the forward
speeds without releasing the traction control lever.
• Discharge Chute Control (Fig. 13)—Rotate the
discharge chute control clockwise to move the
discharge chute to the right; counterclockwise to move
the chute to the left.
• Auger/Impeller Lockup—When you press both the
auger/impeller drive control lever and traction control
lever, the traction control lever locks the auger/impeller
drive control lever down. Release the traction control
lever to release both levers.
