Your Snow
Thrower
WARNING
Attaching the Chute Assembly
• Remove locknuts and screws securing one of the
flange keepers to the chute assembly. See Figure 4.
• Loosen but do not remove the locknuts and screws on
the other two flange keepers.
•
Slide
chute assembly over chute opening, making
sure the flange keepers are beneath lip of chute
adapter. The notches should engage with the spiral
end of the chute crank. See Figure 5.
• Secure flange keeper, locknuts and screws previously
removed. Tighten all flange keepers and hardware
with two 7/16” wrenches. Do not over tighten.
NOTE:
If necessary the chute crank support bracket can
be adjusted so the spiral on the chute crank fully engages
the teeth on the chute assembly. Refer to the Adjustment
Section.
Attaching the Shift Rod
• Align the upper and lower shift rods, then slide the
shift rod connector down over the end of the lower
shift rod. Tap the connector until the lower rod is
completely through the connector. See Figure 6.
NOTE:
If the connector is not properly assembled, the
shift rod will pivot and you will not be able to change
speeds or direction.
NOTE:
If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse)
cannot be achieved, refer to the Adjustment Section.
•
Normally the cable ties holding the steering cables
against the handle are loosely installed on each side
of the lower handle at the factory. Pull the cable ties
tight to secure. Cut the excess from the ends of cable
ties.
• If not already attached, slip the cables that run from
the handle panel to the discharge chute into the cable
guide located on top of the engine. See Figure 7.
• Wrap the wire from the head lamp down the right
handle until the wire can be plugged into the alternator
lead wire under the fuel tank. See Figure 8.
