• If you face resistance when moving the shift lever
or the snow thrower wheels stop when they should
not, loosen the lock nut on the traction drive cable
and unthread the cable one turn.
• If the wheels can still be turned when you engage
the traction drive clutch grip, loosen the lock nut on
the traction drive cable and thread the cable in one
turn.
• Recheck the adjustment and repeat adjustment as
necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable
when correct adjustment is reached.
NOTE: If you are not sure that you have reached
correct adjustment, refer to the Adjustment section on
page 20.
Skid Shoe
The space between the 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.
NOTE: 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 an 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.
• Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts
and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to
desired position.
• Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe
is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the
skid shoes.
• Tighten nuts and bolts securely.
