CHECKLIST
Before you operate your snow thrower, please review
the following checklist to help ensure that you will
obtain the best performance from your snow thrower.
• Make sure all assembly instructions have been
completed with all bolts and nuts properly tightened.
• Make sure the correct drive belt was installed.
• Make sure the drive belt and auger belt are routed
properly around pulleys and inside all belt keepers.
• Check discharge chute for proper rotation.
• Check operation of tilt control for upper chute.
• Verify that the snow thrower raises and lowers
properly.
• Check skid shoe adjustment. (Refer to the Service
and Adjustments section.)
REAR REFLECTORS
ATTACH REFLECTORS TO REAR FENDER
STEP 37: (SEE FIGURE 35)
• If your tractor is not equipped with rear reflectors,
assemble the supplied rear reflectors to the rear
fender. Place the reflectors as close to the bottom of
the fender and as far apart as the shape of the fender
will allow.

SETTING THE AUGER BELT TENSION
STEP 35: (SEE FIGURE 33)
• Pull the tensioning chain until it is extended out as far
as the 3/32" hairpin cotter installed in the chain will
allow. Install a 1/8" hairpin cotter through the chain to
secure it in the extended position.
NOTE:
After pulling the chain out, check to make sure
the belt does not rub against the keeper bolts. If the
belt rubs, slightly loosen the bolts, move them as far
from the pulleys as possible, and retighten.
