cable (refer to Checking and Adjusting the Traction
Cable) or take the machine to an Authorized Service
Dealer for service.
1. Move the throttle to the Slow position, and then to
the Stop position (Figure 33).
Important: To operate the traction drive, you must
operate the machine with the self-propel feature
engaged. Refer to Freewheeling or Using the
Self-propel Drive.
1. To engage the traction drive, squeeze the left hand
(traction) lever to the handgrip (Figure 35).
Figure 33
2. Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Remove the ignition key.
Figure 35
4. Close the fuel shutoff valve by rotating it clockwise
(Figure 34).
2. To stop the traction drive, release the traction lever.
Using the Wheel Clutch Levers
Models 38634, 38644, and 38654 only
The wheel clutch levers allow you to momentarily
disengage the drive to one or both wheels with the
traction drive lever still engaged. This enables you to
turn and maneuver the machine easily.
Note: Holding down the traction lever against the
handle engages the traction drive to both wheels.
Figure 34
To turn the machine to the right, lift up on the right
wheel clutch lever and squeeze it toward the handle
(Figure 36).
5. Pull the recoil starter 3 or 4 times. This helps prevent
the recoil starter from freezing up.
Operating the Traction Drive
CAUTION
If the traction drive is not properly adjusted, the
machine may move in the direction opposite of
what you intended, causing injury and/or property
damage.
Figure 36
Carefully check the traction drive and adjust
it properly, if necessary; refer to Checking the
Traction Drive Operation in Setup for more
information.
Note: This disengages the drive to the right wheel
while the left wheel continues driving, and the machine
turns to the right.
17
Note: Similarly, squeezing the left wheel clutch lever
turns the machine to the left.
When you complete the turn, release the wheel clutch
lever, and the drive re-engages both wheels (Figure 37).
Figure 39
2. To stop the auger and impeller, release the right
hand lever.
Figure 37
Important: When you engage both the
auger/impeller lever and the traction lever, the
traction lever locks the auger/impeller lever
down, freeing your right hand. To release both
levers, simply release the left hand (traction)
lever.
Momentarily squeezing and releasing the left or right
wheel clutch lever also allows for steering adjustments
to keep the machine going in a straight line, especially
in deep snow.
3. If the auger and impeller continue to rotate when
you release the auger/impeller lever, do not operate
the machine. Check the auger/impeller cable (refer
to Checking and Adjusting the Auger/Impeller
Cable) and adjust it if necessary. Otherwise, take the
machine to an Authorized Dealer for service.
Squeezing both wheel clutch levers simultaneously
disengages the drive to both wheels. This enables you to
manually move the machine backward 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.
WARNING
Operating the Speed Selector
If the auger and impeller continue to rotate
when you release the auger/impeller lever, you
could seriously injure yourself or others.
The speed selector has 6 forward and 2 reverse gears.
To change speeds, release the traction lever and shift the
speed selector lever to the desired position (Figure 38).
The lever locks in a notch at each speed selection.
Do not operate the machine. Take it to an
Authorized Service Dealer for service.

If the auger/impeller is running but there is no snow
coming out of the discharge chute, the discharge chute
may be clogged.
• To unclog the discharge chute, stay in the operating
position and release the left hand (traction) lever.
While running the auger/impeller, push down on
the handles to raise the front of the machine a few
inches (centimeters) off the pavement. Then lift the
handles quickly to bump the front of the machine on
the pavement. Repeat if necessary until a stream of
snow comes out the discharge chute.
• If you cannot unclog the discharge chute by bumping
the front of the machine, stop the engine, wait
for all moving parts to stop, and use the snow
cleanout tool; never use your hand.
Important: Unclogging the discharge chute
by bumping the front of the machine on the
pavement may cause the skids to move. Adjust
the skids and tighten the skid bolts securely.
Figure 41
• If the chute does not move, refer to Adjusting the
Discharge Chute Latch.
• If the chute does not turn as far to the left as it does
to the right, ensure that the cable is routed to the
inside of the handles. Refer to Installing the Upper
Handle.
• If the chute does not lock into place when you release
the trigger cap, refer to Adjusting the Discharge
Chute Latch.
Preventing Freeze-up
• In snowy and cold conditions, some controls and
moving parts may freeze. Do not use excessive
force when trying to operate frozen controls. If
you have difficulty operating any control or part,
start the engine and let it run for a few minutes.
• After using the machine, let the engine run for a
few minutes to prevent moving parts from freezing.
Engage the auger/impeller to clear any remaining
snow from inside the housing. Rotate the Quick
Stick to prevent it from freezing. Stop the engine,
wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove all ice
and snow from the machine.
Moving the Chute Deflector

General Conditions
All repairs covered by these warranties must be performed by an
Authorized Toro Service Dealer using Toro approved replacement parts.
Repair by an Authorized Toro Service Dealer is your sole remedy under
this warranty.
Neither The Toro Company nor Toro Warranty Company is liable for
indirect, incidental, or consequential damages in connection with the
use of the Toro Products covered by these warranties, including any
cost or expense of providing substitute equipment or service during
reasonable periods of malfunction or non-use pending completion of
repairs under these warranties.
All implied warranties of merchantability (that the product is fit for ordinary
use) and fitness for use (that the product is fit for a particular purpose) are
limited to the duration of the expressed warranty. Some states do not
allow exclusions of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions may not
apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.
Countries Other than the United States or Canada
Customers who have purchased Toro products exported from the United States or Canada should contact their Toro Distributor (Dealer) to obtain
guarantee policies for your country, province, or state. If for any reason you are dissatisfied with your Distributor’s service or have difficulty obtaining
guarantee information, contact the Toro importer. If all other remedies fail, you may contact us at Toro Warranty Company.
*Residential purposes means use of the product on the same lot as your home. Use at more than one location, or institutional or rental use, is considered
commercial use, and the commercial use warranty would apply.
