SECTION 5: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: Never attempt to make any
adjustments while the engine is running,
except where specified in operator’s manual.
Shift Rod Adjustment
If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot
be achieved, refer to the figures to the right and adjust
the shift rod as follows:
Place the shift lever in the fastest forward
speed position. Remove the hairpin clip which
secures the ferrule to the shift lever.
Figure 13
Rotate the shift arm clockwise as far as it will
go.
Figure 14
Thread the ferrule up or down the shift rod until
it aligns with the hole in the shift lever behind
the handle panel. Resecure the ferrule with the
hairpin clip removed earlier.
Chute Assembly
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by
changing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so,
stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen
the plastic wing knob found on the left side of the chute
assembly. Pivot the chute upward or downward before
re-tightening the wing knob. See Figure 16 .

Chute Bracket Adjustment
If the spiral at the bottom of the chute directional control
is not fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute
bracket can be adjusted. To do so, loosen the two nuts
which secure the chute bracket and reposition it slightly
before retightening the nuts. See Figure 17 .
