ATTACHING THE CLUTCH CONTROL
CABLES (Hardware F)
•
The clutch control cables are attached
to the snowthrower. Your cables may be
attached to the top of the engine with
cable ties, cut the ties.
•
Ensure there is a
hex
jam
nut
threaded all the way
towards the “Z” end
of the fitting. Extra
nuts are supplied in
the screw pack. See
Figure 11.
•
Make certain all ca-
bles are in the
grooves of the cable
roller guides. The
roller guides are lo-
cated on the engine
frame at the rear of
the unit, see Figure
4.
•
Lift the clutch grip in
the raised up posi-
tion, see Figure 12.
•
Thread the ferrule
without turning the
cable
onto the “Z”
fitting until there is
no slack in the cable. See Figure 13.
Do not overtighten
the cable. Hold the
flats on the ferrule with pliers and
tighten
the jam nut against the ferrule.
•
The right drive cable should be assembled
in the same manner.
CAUTION: Cables will loosen if not tight.
WARNING: There must not be any
tension on either clutch cable with
the drive or auger clutch grip in the
disengaged (up) position. These
clutches are a safety feature, and
their function can be overridden if
there is tension on either cable with
the clutches disengaged.
LAMP WIRING
NOTE:
A lamp is an optional feature of
some model snow throwers and is NOT
standard equipment. On models so
equipped, a lamp will either be installed
on the dash panel at the factory OR
packaged separately as a kit within the
carton, depending on the model.
•
If so equipped, wrap the wire from the
lamp down the right handle until the
wire can be plugged into the alternator
lead wire located under the fuel tank.
See Figure 14. Lamp wire must not in-
terfere with any controls or cables.
If your unit is not equipped with a lamp,
contact Customer Support as instructed
on page 2 for information regarding
price and availability.
