The direction of travel of the Sno-Away is
controlled by the position of the transmission shift
lever. Refer to Figure 2. When shifting the transmission, always release Touch-0-Matic control.
With the clutch disengaged, push down on the trans-

the
transmission will shift
into forward position and Sno-Away will travel forward when the clutch is engaged. To reverse the
Sno-Away, disengage the clutch and pull up on
