Traction Drive Clutch and Shift Lever
Adjustment
To check the adjustment of the traction drive clutch
and shift lever, move the shift lever all the way over
to fifth (5) position. With the traction drive lever
released, push the snow thrower forward. The unit
should move forward freely. Then engage the traction
drive clutch grip. The wheels should stop turning.
Now release the traction drive clutch grip, and push
the unit again. Move the shift lever back to the fast
reverse position, then all the way over again. There
should be no resistance in the shift lever, and the and
the wheels should keep turning
If you have resistance when moving the shift lever or
the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the
jam nut on the traction drive cable and unthread the
cable one turn. If the wheels do not stop when you
engage the traction drive clutch grip, loosen the jam
nut on the traction drive cable and thread the cable in
one turn. Recheck the adjustment and repeat as
necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable
when correct adjustment is reached.
