Chute Directional Control And Support
Bracket Adjustment
If the spiral at the base of the chute directional control is
not fully engaging with the notches in the lower chute
assembly, the support bracket can be adjusted inward
or outward as follows:
• Loosen, but do NOT remove the two hex nuts
which secure the chute directional control support
bracket to the snow thrower housing.
See Figure 10.
Figure 10
• Adjust the support bracket inward or outward so
that the spiral is fully engaged in the notches on the
chute before retightening the hex nuts.
Shift Rod Adjustment
To adjust the shift rod, proceed as follows:
• Remove the hairpin clip and slide the shift rod
connector up, to separate the upper shift rod from
the lower shift rod. See Figure 11.
• Place the shift lever into the sixth (6) position.
• Rotate the shift arm clockwise (from the operator’s
position) as far as it will go.
• Thread the upper shift rod downward until the
elbow on its lower end aligns with the hole found in
the lower shift rod.
• Reconnect the upper shift rod to the lower shift rod
by reinserting the hairpin clip removed earlier and
sliding the shift rod connector back down into place.
IMPORTANT:
Make certain to check for correct
adjustment of the shift rod as instructed under Final
Adjustments in the Assembly Section, before operating
the snow thrower.
