9.5 DEFLECTOR
To install a new deflector cable:
Remove one jam nut from deflector cable (Figure 21).
Route cable through retainer mounted on engine and
chute bracket. Replace jam nut and secure cable
threaded connector (from left side) to deflector bracket
with cotter pin. Position deflector in its lowest position
with cable control pushed full in and tighten jam nuts on
chute bracket.
NOTE:
Check deflector movement to highest position.
Adjust jam nuts and/or threaded connector if necessary
to obtain full travel.
Slide handle end of deflector control cable through hole
in upper handlebar panel and secure with washer and
jam nut. Secure T-handle on end of deflector control
cable.
9.6 RUNNERS
Runners should be adjusted as conditions require
(Figure 21). Raising or lowering runners controls
distance scraper blade is held above surface being
cleared.
When operating machine on gravel surface, lower
runners so that housing will not pick up gravel. On
concrete, blacktopped or packed down snow surfaces,
raise runners so that scraper blade scrapes clean. To
reduce tendency of housing to ride up over heavy wet
or hard-packed snow, remove runners and re-install
with the narrow edge down.
Position unit on a flat level surface. Adjust runners by
inserting a spacer of desired thickness under center of
scraper blade, loosen hardware, slide runners to flat
surface and retighten hardware.
NOTE:
Above method keeps housing level by adjusting
runners equally. Uneven runners make machine diffi-
cult to steer and results in uneven clearing.
CAUTION:
Adjust auger/impeller housing
height to clear gravel or crushed rock
surfaces.
