Shift Rod Adjustment
To adjust the shift rod, proceed as follows:
• Remove the hairpin clip and slide the connector up
to separate the upper shift rod from the lower shift
rod. See Figure 10.
Figure 10
• Place shift lever in sixth (6) position.
• Rotate the shift arm counterclockwise (from the
operator’s position) as far as it will go.
• Thread the upper shift rod downward until the
elbow on its lower end aligns with the hole found in
the lower shift rod.
• Reconnect the upper shift rod to the lower shift rod
by reinserting the hairpin clip removed earlier and
sliding the connector back down into place.
IMPORTANT:
Make certain to check for correct
adjustment of the shift rod as instructed under Final
Adjustments in the Assembly Section, before operating
the snow thrower.
Drive Wheels
The wheels may be adjusted for two different methods
of operation. The adjustment is made by placing the
click pins in one of two different holes on the right side
of the unit. See Figure 11.
Figure 11
One Wheel Driving: Insert the click pin only through
the outside hole of the axle (NOT the rim) on the right
side of the snow thrower. This position gives power
drive to the left wheel only, making the unit easier to
maneuver.
Both Wheels Driving: Insert the click pin through the
hole in the hub of the rim and the INSIDE hole on the
snow thrower’s right axle. This position is good for
heavy snow as there is power drive in both wheels.
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.
