SECTION 5:  MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING:

Never attempt to make any

adjustments while the engine is running,
except where specified in operator’s manual.

Shift Cable Adjustment

If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot
be achieved, refer to the figures to the right and adjust
the shift rod as follows:

1.

Rotate the shift arm clockwise as far as it will go.

2.

Thread the ferrule up or down the shift rod until it
aligns with the hole in the shift lever behind the
handle panel.

Tire Pressure

Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce
pressure to between 15 psi and 20 psi.

NOTE:

If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires,

the unit may pull to one side or the other.

Chute Assembly

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
changing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so,
stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen
the plastic wing knob found on the left side of the chute
assembly. Pivot the chute upward or downward before
re-tightening the wing knob. See Figure 3.

the first hole,the walking speed is fastest.connect with 
the second hole,the walking speed is more slowly.
connect with the third hole,the walking speed is the 
most slowly.
