Wheel drive control
Refer to the Adjustment section of the Assembly & Set-Up
section earlier in this manual for instructions on how to adjust
the wheel drive control. To further check the adjustment,
proceed as follows:
1. With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to run
the fuel tank dry before tipping the unit forward), remove
the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by removing
the self-tapping screws. See Figure 6-6.
Figure 6-6
2. Locate the opening between the axle support bracket and
the front frame support (See Figure 6-7). Looking through
this opening, with the wheel drive control released, there
must be clearance between the friction wheel and the
drive plate in all positions of the speed selector lever.
3. With the wheel drive control engaged, the friction wheel
must contact the drive plate. See Figure 6-7.

4. If there is no friction wheel clearance, or the friction wheel
does 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.
5. Reassemble the frame cover.

Off-Season Storage
If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, follow
the storage instructions below.
1. Lubricate the machine as instructed earlier in this section.
2. Store in a clean, dry area.
3. If storing the snow thrower in an unventilated area,
rustproof the machine using a light oil or silicone to coat
the snow thrower.
4. Clean the exterior of the engine and the snow thrower.
IMPORTANT: See the Engine Operator’s Manual included
with the snow thrower for complete engine off-season storage
