SECTION 6: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: NEVER attempt to make adjustments
while the engine is running, except where specified in
the operators manual.
Chute Directional Adjustment
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to the
Chute Tilt Control in the Know Your Snow Thrower
Section.
Chute Directional Control And Support
Bracket Adjustment (Model 724 STE)
If the spiral at the bass of the chute directional control is
not fully engaging with the notches in the lower chute
assembly, the support bracket can be adjusted inward
or outward as follows:
Loosen, but do NOT remove the hex nuts which
secure the chute directional control support bracket
to the snow thrower housing. See Figure 10.
Figure 10
Adjust the support bracket inward or outward so
that the spiral is fully engaged in the notches on the
chute before retightening the hex nuts.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted by raising or lowering the skid shoes. Refer
to Skid Shoe Adjustment in Section 3 of this manual.
Traction Control Adjustment
Refer to the information found under the heading Final
Adjustments in Section 3 of this manual to adjust the
traction control. If you are uncertain that you have
reached the correct adjustment, proceed as follows:
WARNING: Drain the gasoline out of your
snow throwers engine, or place a piece of
plastic film under the gas cap to avoid
spillage before making this adjustment.
Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on
the auger housing.
Remove the frame cover underneath the snow
thrower by removing the six self-tapping screws.
With the traction control released, there must be
clearance between the friction wheel and the drive
plate in all positions of the shift lever.
Figure 11
With the traction control engaged, the friction wheel
must contact the drive plate. See Figure 12.
If adjustment is necessary:
Loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable (see
Figure 5). Adjust the cable as necessary.
Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when
correct adjustment is reached and reassemble.
NOTE: If you placed plastic film under the gas cap, be
certain to remove it before operating the snow thrower.
