Setting Up
Your Snow
Thrower
Final Adjustments
Make these final assembly adjustments before
operating your snow thrower for the first time. Failure
to follow these instructions may cause damage to the
snow thrower.
Testing Drive Control & Shift Lever
Refer to Figure 3-9 for location of controls.
1. Move the shift lever into sixth (6) position.
2. With the wheel drive control released, push the
snow thrower forward, then pull it back. The machine
should move freely.
3. Engage the drive control and attempt to move the
machine both forward and back, resistance should
be felt.
4. Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2)
position and repeat the previous two steps.
If you experienced resistance rolling the unit, either
when repositioning the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when
attempting to move the machine with the drive control
released, adjust the drive control immediately. See
Adjusting Drive and Auger Controls.
Testing Auger Drive Control
When the auger control is released and in the disengaged
“up” position, the cable should have very little slack, but
should NOT be tight.
1. In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower
engine as instructed in the Operation section. Make
sure the throttle is set in the fast position.
2. While standing in the operator’s position (behind the
snow thrower), engage the auger control and allow
the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten
seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat
this several times.
3. With the engine running in the fast position and the
auger control in the disengaged “up” position, walk to
the front of the machine.
Confirm that the auger has completely stopped
rotating and shows no signs of motion.
4. If the auger shows any signs of rotating, immediately
return to the operator’s position and shut off the
engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop before
readjusting the auger control cable.
