Shift Cable
If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot
be achieved, refer to the figure to the left and adjust the
shift cable as follows:
1. Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed
position.
2. Loosen the hex nut on the shift cable index bracket.
See Figure 14.
3. Pivot the bracket downward to take up slack in the
cable.
4. Retighten the hex nut.
5. Check for correct adjustment before operating the
snow thrower.
Chute Bracket Adjustment
If the spiral at the bottom of the chute directional control
is not fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute
bracket can be adjusted. To do so, loosen the two nuts
which secure the chute bracket and reposition it slightly
before retightening the nuts. See Figure 15.
Drive Control & Shift Lever
When the drive control is released and in the disengaged
“up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It
should NOT be tight.
Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:
1. With the drive control released, push the snow thrower
gently forward. The unit should roll freely.
2. Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push
the snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn.
The unit should not roll freely.
3. With the drive control released, move the shift lever
back and forth between the R2 position and the F6
position several times. There should be no resistance
in the shift lever.
