Drive Wheels
•
The wheels may be adjusted for two different
methods of operation. Follow the steps below for
adjustment. See Figure 22.
Figure 22
One Wheel Driving
•
On the right side of the unit, place click pin in the
outside axle hole only. Do not place pin through
wheel hub.This position gives power drive to the left
wheel only, making the unit easier to maneuver.
Both Wheels Driving
•
Rotate wheel assembly to align hole in the hub with
the inner hole on the axle shaft. Insert click pin in
the hole. Outer axle shaft hole should be visible.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER operate the snow thrower with the
click pin inserted through both the RIM and the
OUTSIDE HOLE in the axle. Doing so can result in
serious damage to the drive system.

be made to the engine while the engine is
running (e.g. carburetor), keep clear of all
moving parts. Be careful of muffler, engine
and other surrounding heated surfaces.

multi-purpose light grease at least once a season or
after every 25 hours of operation.
