Making
Adjustments
Auger Control
Refer to Auger Control Test in Operation section to
adjust the auger control.
Shift Cable
If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot
be achieved, refer to the figures to the right 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,
Figure 5-1.
3. Pivot the bracket downward to take up slack in the
cable.
4. Retighten the hex nut.
Drive Control
When the drive control is released and in the disen-
gaged “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,
Figure 5-2.
6. Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or
downward to increase cable tension).
7. Retighten the hex nut.
Chute Assembly
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by chang-
ing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so:
1. Stop the engine by removing the ignition key and
loosen the plastic wing knob found on the left side of
the chute assembly.
2. Pivot the chute upward or downward before retight
-
ening the wing knob, Figure 5-3.
WARNING
Read, understand, and
follow all instructions and
warnings on the machine
and in this manual before
