OPERATION
TO USE V/EIGHT TRANSFER SYSTEM
In hard packed or heavy snow condittons. conventional
snow throwers tend to ride up and leave uneven mounds
of snow behind. For these conditions, your new tracked
snow thrower has a unique weight transfer system (See
Fig. 12) designed to minimize ride-up.
The weight transfer system engaged shifts more weight
to the auger housing. This weight transfer keeps the
snow thrower in contact with the ground and raluces
ride-up on ice and snow.
In lighter snow condtlions or when tr^porting, you
should release the weight transfer system for easier
steering.

To use the weight transfer system, lift up on upper
handle until bracket bolls snap into place in upper
slots of weight transfer pedal

To release, hold upper handle firmly and push down
on the weight transfer pedal with the ball of you r foot.
NOTE: The weight transfer system will not work if the
auger housing height adjust skkfs are adjusted to the
highest position.
