Drive Control
Refer to “Auger and Drive Control Cables” of the Assembly & Set-
Up - Section 3 for instructions to adjust the drive control.
To further check the adjustment, proceed as follows:
With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain
to drain gasoline or place plastic film under the gas
cap if the snow thrower has already been operated),
remove the frame cover underneath the snow
thrower by removing the self-tapping screws. See
Figure 6-6.
Locate the opening between the axle support
bracket and the front frame support (See Figure 6-7).
Looking through this opening, with the drive control
released, there must be clearance between the
friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of
the shift lever.

With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel
must contact the drive plate. See Figure 6-7.
If there is no friction wheel clearance, or the friction
wheel does not solidly contact the drive plate,
re-adjust the lock nut on the lower end of the drive
cable following the instructions in the Assembly
section.
Reassemble the frame cover.
Chute Directional Control
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting
the angle of the chute assembly. Move the remote chute
lever on the control panel forward to pivot the upper
chute down; move the lever rearward to pivot the upper
chute upward.
The chute directional control is located on the left side of
the snow thrower. To change the direction in which snow
is thrown, crank clockwise to discharge to the left and
counterclockwise to discharge to the right.
Auger Control
Refer to the Assembly and Set-up section for instructions
on adjusting the auger control cable.
Skid Shoes
Refer to the Assembly and Set-up section for instructions
on adjusting the skid shoes.
Tire Pressure
Refer to the tire sidewall for the manufacturer’s recom-
mended tire air pressure. Keep the tires filled to the
recommended psi.
If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may
pull to one side or the other
