Lift Rod Adjustment
In the fully raised position the attachment should be 4”-5”
off the ground. In the fully lowered position, the lift rod
should compress the spring creating downward pressure
on the blade.
NOTE: Always adjust the lift height before and after
adjusting the downward pressure.
LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1. Fully raise the attachment lift. The snowthrower
should be approximately 4”-5” off the ground. If not,
go to step 2.
2. Lower the snowthrower and adjust the front set collar
(A, Figure 7) to achieve the correct lift height.
DOWNWARD PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
1. Place the lift in the fully raised position.
2. Release the rear set collar (C, Figure 7).
3. Slide the set collar (C) forward until it is slightly com-
pressing the spring. Tighten the set collar screw. Do
not over-compress the lift rod spring.
IMPORTANT NOTE
DO NOT OVER-COMPRESS THE SPRING.
In addition to providing downward pressure,
the spring is an elastic medium that absorbs
shocks caused by bumps and cracks in
ground surfaces. Over-compressing the
spring defeats this and may cause damage
to the unit.
