Drive Control
When the drive control is released and in the disengaged
“up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It
should NOT be tight.
Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:
1. With the drive control released, push the snow thrower
gently forward. The unit should roll freely.
2. Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push
the snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn.
The unit should not roll freely.
3. With the drive control released, move the shift lever
back and forth between the R2 position and the F6
position several times. There should be no resistance
in the shift lever.
4. If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in
need of adjustment. Proceed as follows:
5. Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket.
See Figure 16.
6. Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or
downward to increase cable tension).
7. Retighten the lower hex nut.

IMPORTANT
It is not recommended
that you operate this
snow thrower on gravel
as loose gravel can be
easily picked up and
thrown by the auger
causing personal injury
or damage to the snow
thrower.
If for some reason,
you have to operate
the snow thrower on
gravel, keep the skid
shoe in the highest
position for maximum
clearance between the
ground and the shave
plate.
