Use the LOW position (i.e. position for clearing hardened snow) only
for clearing the hardened snow. Do not set the auger housing in this
position during clearing the soft snow or clearing on the bumpy road
as it can damage the road surface or causes the stones to be thrown
out of the auger, which is very dangerous. Also, it can break your
snowblower as well as cause the excessive wear and damage to the
snow clearing part of the snowblower.
When the ICS switch is ON, the auger housing automatically rises
during reversing.
Frequent operation of the auger control switch activates the
protection function and the drive control warning indicator (orange)
blink, which prevents you from adjusting the snow clearing part of
the snowblower. Stop operating the auger control switch and wait
for a while before operating the switch again.
