Auger Control
To adjust the auger control, refer to page 13.
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 13.
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 Directional Control
If the chute assembly does not have full range from
left-to-right, or upward-and-downward, the chute control
cables can be adjusted to take up slack:
1. Using a ½” wrench, loosen the upper and lower hex
nuts found on one cable adjuster.
2. Grasp the metal cable housing and gently push
upward to take up slack (usually no more than 1/4-
inch) in the cable before retightening both hex nuts.
3. Repeat on each of four cable adjusters until the chute
assembly has full range in all directions. See Figure
14.
Skid Shoes
The space between this shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes in
the low position. Use middle or high position when area to
be cleared is uneven.
1. Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four lock nuts
and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired
position. See Figure 15.
2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoes
are against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the
skid shoes.
3. Tighten nuts and bolts securely.
