selector lever shifts properly but the machine does not drive
in the forward or reverse speeds.

Replacing the Traction Drive
Belt
If the traction drive belt becomes worn, oil-soaked, or
otherwise damaged, take the unit to an authorized service
location.
Adjusting the Auger/Impeller
Drive Belt
Service Interval:
After the first hour
Before each use or daily
Operating the machine with an auger/impeller drive belt that
slips decreases the snowthrowing performance and damages
the belt. Check the auger/impeller drive belt for the proper
tension after the first operating hour, then check and adjust
the belt when necessary.
DANGER
Improperly adjusting the auger/impeller may cause
it to turn when disengaged. A rotating auger or
impeller can cut off or injure fingers, hands, or feet.
•
Keep your face, hands, feet, and any other part
of your body or clothing away from concealed,
moving, or rotating parts.
•
Ensure that the impeller brake arm clearance
is maintained.
•
Do not adjust the auger/impeller drive belt too
tight because it may cause the auger/impeller to
turn when the control lever is in the Disengaged
position. If this occurs, decrease the belt
tension.
1.
Check and adjust the belt as instructed in Installing the
Auger/Impeller Drive Control Linkage in Setup.
2.
Check the belt tension by operating the auger.
3.
If the belt still slips, replace it. Refer to Replacing the
Auger/Impeller Drive Belt.
Important:
Do not operate the machine if the
auger and the impeller rotate when you disengage
the auger/impeller drive control lever.
