Lift Adjustment
If the lift index rod, as seen in Fig. 3-23, doesn’t latch securely or
the pivot release has too much slack in it, an adjustment can be
made as follows:
Loosen the upper hex nut a few turns, then tighten the 1.
lower hex nut to shorten the cable length. See Fig. 3-23.
Loosen the lower hex nut a few turns, then tighten the 2.
upper hex nut to lengthen the cable. See Fig. 3-23.
Lower Chute Crank Support Bracket Adjustment
If the spiral at the base of the lower chute crank isn’t fully
engaging with the notches in the lower chute assembly, the
support bracket can be adjusted inward or outward as follows:
Loosen, but do NOT remove the two hex nuts which secure 1.
the support bracket to the snow thrower housing. See Fig.
3-24.
Adjust the support bracket inward or outward so that the 2.
spiral is fully engaged in the notches on the chute before
retightening the hex nuts.
Set-Up
Shear Pins
A pair of replacement auger shear pins and bow tie cotter pins
are included with your snow thrower. Store them in a safe place
until needed.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
WARNING!
Never attempt to make any
adjustments while the engine is running, except
where specified in the Operator’s Manual. Place
tractor on a firm and level surface. Place the PTO in
the disengaged (OFF) position, set the parking
brake, shut engine off, and remove key to prevent
unintended starting.
The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward at the factory
for shipping purposes. Adjust them downward, if desired, prior
to operating the snow thrower.
CAUTION:
It is not recommended that you operate
this snow thrower on gravel as it can easily pick up
and throw loose gravel, causing personal injury or
damage to the snow thrower and surrounding
property.
For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid •
shoes higher on the auger housing.
Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared
•
is uneven, such as a gravel driveway
NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow thrower on a gravel
surface, keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance
between the ground and the shave plate.
To adjust the skid shoes:
Loosen the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage 1.
bolts. Move skid shoes to desired position. See Fig. 3-22.
Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is 2.
against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.
Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
