Assembly

Handlebar and Contol Assembly

1.  Hex bolts and nylon lock nuts have been provided in a 

hardware package. Align the two holes at each end of the 

handlebar with the two holes in the handlebar support on 

the snow blower. Push hex bolts through from the outside 

and secure with a nylon lock nut on the interior in two 

places on both sides of the snow blower (see Figure 1).

2.  Attach the drive wire on the left side of the snow blower 

(see Figure 2). Remove the R-clip that connects the drive 

wire to the control lever on the handlebars, then slip the 

wire off. Attach the other end of the drive wire with the 

spring mechanism to the connection ring and reattach the 

drive wire to the control lever reinserting the R-clip. After 

connecting the wire adjust the tension. The wire should be 

taught when connected. (See Control Wire Adjustment, 

page 23).

3.  Attach the auger wire on the right side of the snow blower 

(see Figure 3). Remove the R-clip that connects the auger 

wire to the control lever on the handlebars, then slip the 

wire off. Attach the other end of the auger wire with the 

spring mechanism to the connection and reattach the 

auger wire to the control lever reinserting the R-clip. After 

connecting the wire adjust the tension.  The wire should 

be taught when connected. (See Control Wire Adjustment, 

page 23).

4.  Attach the speed shift rod and secure with a R-clip that has 

been included (see Figure 3).

5.  Attach the wire harness for heated handle control to the 

harness coming off of the engine.

Attaching the Chute Height Control Cable

1.  Attach the chute height control cable to the bracket 

underneath the control panel. Route the cable through the 

notch in the bottom bracket and tighten the two hex nuts 

on the top and bottom of the bracket. Then attach the cable 

end with the screw eye to the post on the upper bracket 

and secure with a R-clip.

     NOTE: It will be easiset to attach the screw eye end 

of the cable to the bracket post when the chute height 

control knob is in the highest position (pulled towards the 

operator).
