ADJUSTMENTS
SPEED / DIRECTION CONTROL LEVER
If the speed/direction control lever moves during opera
-
tions, tighten the s pivot bolt just enough to increase the
tension on the friction washers to keep in place.
DO
NOT over tighten, the handle could crush.
VERTICAL SPEED CONTROL ROD
Disconnect the speed control rod
B
from the pivot plate.
Move the speed control lever all the way forward. Pull
up on the rod
B
to move the linkage against the forward
stop. Turn the rod in or out of the swivel
C
until it just
goes into the pivot plate
E
. (Use the lower pivot plate
hole for the upper handle position.) Secure the rod to
the pivot plate E with two hairpin cotters. (Figure 3)
HANDLE HEIGHT
Two handle height positions are provided. To move
from one to the other, disconnect the speed/direction
rod, then remove the four handle bolts. Reposition the
handle to the other set of holes and reinstall the handle
bolts. Adjust the vertical speed control rod to the new
positions Reconnect the speed/direction rod. (Figure 4)
WHEEL CHAIN TENSION
If the wheel drive chain becomes too slack, the tension
needs to be increased or it can run off the sprockets.
To adjust the tension, tip the machine to the right until
it rests on the blower housing. Then loosen the nuts
A
on the carriage bolts securing the chain adjuster
brackets on each side. Leave the center pivot bolt
B
tight. Once the carriage bolts are loose, support the
rear of the machine with the wheels off the ground and
move the adjuster brackets until the chain has 1/16” to
1/8” droop on the slack side with the other side tight.
Both adjusters should be in about the same position.
Tighten the nuts on the carriage bolts. If there is no
more adjustment or the 2 sides are not in about the
same position, replace the wheel chains. See wheel
chain replacement. (Figure 5)
