Drive Control
Refer to
“Auger and Drive Control Cables
”
of the Assembly & Set-Up - 3
for instructions to adjust the drive control. To further check the
adjustment, proceed as follows:
1.
With the snow thrower tipped forward (before tipping the
machine on to the front housing, run the fuel tank empty),
remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by
removing the self-tapping screws. See Figure 6-6.
2.
Locate the opening between the axle support bracket and
the front frame support (See Figure 6-7). Looking through
this opening, with the drive control released, there must be
clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in
all positions of the shift lever.
3.
With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel must
contact the drive plate. Refer to Figure 6-7.
4.
If there is no friction wheel clearance when the drive
control is disengaged, or the friction wheel does not solidly
contact the drive friction plate when the drive control is
engaged, re-adjust the lock nut on the lower end of the
drive cable following the instructions in the Assembly &
Set-Up .
5.
Reassemble the frame cover.
Chute Directional Control
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the
angle of the chute assembly. Move the remote chute lever on the
control panel forward to pivot the upper chute down; move the
lever rearward to pivot the upper chute upward.
The chute directional control is located on the left side of the
snow thrower. To change the direction in which snow is thrown,
crank clockwise to discharge to the left and counterclockwise to
discharge to the right.
Auger Control
Refer to the Assembly & Set-up for instructions on adjusting the
auger control cable.
Skid Shoes
Refer to the Assembly & Set-up for instructions on adjusting the
skid shoes.
Tire Pressure
Refer to the Assembly & Set-up for instructions on adjusting the
tire pressure.
Off-Season Storage
If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, follow
the storage instructions below.
1.
Lubricate the machine as instructed earlier in this .
2.
Store in a clean, dry area.
3.
If storing the snow thrower in an unventilated area,
rustproof the machine using a light oil or silicone to coat
the snow thrower.
4.
Clean the exterior of the engine and the snow thrower.
