Refer to “Auger and Drive Control Cables” of the Assembly & Set-Up -
Section 3 for instructions to adjust the drive control. To further
check the adjustment, proceed as follows:
With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to drain 1.
gasoline or place plastic film under the gas cap if the snow
thrower has already been operated), remove the frame
cover underneath the snow thrower by removing the self-
tapping screws. See Figure 6-6.
Locate the opening between the axle support bracket and the 2.
front frame support (See Figure 6-7). Looking through this
opening, with the drive control released, there must be
clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in
all positions of the shift lever.
With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel must 3.
contact the drive plate. See Figure 6-7.
If there is no friction wheel clearance, or the friction wheel does 4.
not solidly contact the drive plate, re-adjust the lock nut on
the lower end of the drive cable following the instructions
in the Assembly section.
Reassemble the frame cover.5.
Chute Directional Control
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the
angle of the chute assembly. Move the remote chute lever on the
control panel forward to pivot the upper chute down; move the
lever rearward to pivot the upper chute upward.
The chute directional control is located on the left side of the
snow thrower. To change the direction in which snow is thrown,
crank clockwise to discharge to the left and counterclockwise to
discharge to the right.
Auger Control
Refer to the Assembly and Set-up section for instructions on
adjusting the auger control cable.
Skid Shoes
Refer to the Assembly and Set-up section for instructions on
adjusting the skid shoes.
Tire Pressure
Refer to the tire sidewall for the manufacturer’s recommended
tire air pressure. Keep the tires filled to the recommended psi.
If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may pull to
one side or the other.
