If adjustment is necessary:
Loosen the jam nut on the traction cable and thread the cable in
or out as necessary.

ment is reached.
Reassemble the frame cover.

WARNING: NEVER attempt to make any adjust-
ments while the engine is running, except where
specified in the operator’s manual.
CHuTE ASSEMbLY
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the
angle of the chute assembly. Refer to Figure 12.
The chute control cables have been pre-adjusted at the factory.
Move the remote chute lever on the control panel back and
forward to adjust angle of the chute assembly.
AugER CONTROL
Refer to Auger Control Test on page 13 in the Operating Section
to adjust the auger control.
DRIvE CONTROL AND SHIFT LEvER
To check the adjustment of the drive control and shift lever,
proceed as follows:
With the engine off, move the shift lever all the way forward to
the highest speed. With the drive control lever released, push the
snow thrower forward. The unit should roll forward. Then engage
the drive control. The tracks should stop turning.
Now release the drive control and push the unit again.
Move the shift lever back to the fast reverse position then all the
way forward again. There should be no resistance in the shift
lever, and the tracks should keep turning.
If you have resistance when moving the shift lever or the tracks
stop when they should not, loosen the jam nut on the drive control
cable and unthread the cable one turn.
If the tracks do not stop when you engage the drive
control, loosen the jam nut on the drive control cable
and thread the cable in one turn.
Recheck the adjustment and repeat as necessary.
Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct
adjustment is reached.
To test further for correct adjustment, if necessary,
proceed as follows:
Drain the gasoline out of the snow thrower’s tank,
or place a piece of plastic film under the gas cap to
avoid spillage BEFORE making the adjustment.
Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on the auger
housing. See Figure 14.
Remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by remov-
ing the self-tapping screws.
With the drive control released, there must be clearance between
the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the shift
lever. See Figure 15.
With the drive control lever engaged, the friction wheel must
contact the drive plate. See Figure 15.
