•
Adjust the chute directional control support bracket
(see Figure 13) so that the spiral on the chute
directional control fully engages the teeth on the
chute assembly. Tighten the hex nuts on the lower
chute directional control bracket securely. Tighten
the hex nuts on the eyebolt.
•
Check to make sure all nuts and bolts on the control
panel and all four bolts which secure the handles to
the frame are tight.
Lamp Wiring (If Equipped)
Figure 15
•
Wrap the wire from the lamp down the right handle
until the wire can be plugged into the alternator lead
wire under the fuel tank. See Figure 15. Be sure
lamp wire does not interfere with the movement of
any controls or cables.
IMPORTANT:
After attaching the shift rod and clutch
cable, check the adjustments as instructed, and make
any final adjustments necessary before operating your
snow thrower. Failure to follow instructions may cause
damage to the snow thrower.
Final Adjustments
Auger Clutch Control
•
To check the adjustment of the auger control
clutch, push forward on the left hand clutch grip
depressing the rubber bumper under the clutch
grip. There should be slack in the cable.
•
Release the clutch grip. The cable should be
straight. Make certain you can depress the auger
control clutch grip against the left handle
completely.
•
If necessary, loosen the hex jam nut and thread the
cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack) as
necessary. Refer to Figure 10. Recheck the
adjustment. Tighten the jam nut against the cable
when correct adjustment is reached.
Traction Control Clutch and Shift Lever
Adjustment
To check the adjustment of the traction control clutch
and shift lever:
•
Move the shift lever all the way forward to the
highest speed. With the traction control lever
released, push the snow thrower forward. The unit
should roll forward.
•
Then engage the traction control grip. The wheels
should stop turning.
•
Now release the traction control clutch grip, 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 wheels should keep turning.
•
If you have resistance when moving the shift lever
or the wheels stop when they should not, loosen
the jam nut on the traction control cable and
unthread the cable one turn. If the wheels do not
stop when you engage the traction control clutch
grip, loosen the jam nut on the traction 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.
NOTE:
If you are uncertain that you have reached the
correct adjustments, refer to SECTION 6: MAKING
ADJUSTMENTS.
Adjusting the Skid Shoes
The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted by adjusting the skid shoes.
•
Place skid shoes in the low position to remove
snow close to the ground. Place skid shoes in a
higher position to remove snow from uneven
ground. See Figure 16.
•
Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts
and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to
desired position. Maker certain the entire bottom
surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid
uneven wear on the skid shoes. Retighten nuts and
bolts securely.

WARNING:
It is not recommended that
you operate this snow thrower on gravel as
loose gravel can easily be picked up and
thrown by the auger causing an injury and/or
damage to the snow thrower.
