Shift Rod Adjustment
To adjust the shift rod, proceed as follows.
• Remove the hairpin clip and slide the connector up
to separate the upper shift rod from the lower shift
rod. See Figure 11.
• Place shift lever in the sixth (6) Forward position.
• Rotate the shift arm counterclockwise (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 connector back down into place.
IMPORTANT:
Make certain to check for correct
adjustment of the shift rod as instructed under the
heading Final Adjustments on page 8 of this manual,
before operating the snow thrower.

Auger Control Adjustment
Refer to Auger Control Test on page 9 of this manual to
adjust the auger control.
Skid Shoes
The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes
in the low position. Use middle or high position when
area to be cleared is uneven.
• Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts
and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to
desired position. Make certain the entire bottom
surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid
uneven wear on the skid shoes. Retighten nuts and
bolts securely. See Figure 12.

WARNING: Do not operate this snow
thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be
easily picked up and thrown by the auger
causing injury to the operator and/or damage
to the snow thrower.
Drive Wheels
The wheels may be adjusted for two different methods
of operation. The adjustment is made by placing the
click pins in one of two different holes on the right side
of the unit.
One Wheel Driving—Insert the click pin only through
the outside hole of the axle (NOT the rim) on the
right side of the snow thrower. This position gives
power drive to the left wheel only, making the unit
easier to maneuver.
Both Wheels Driving—Insert the click pin through the
hole in the hub of the rim and the INSIDE hole on
the snow thrower’s right axle. This position is good
for heavy snow as there is power drive in both
wheels.
IMPORTANT:
NEVER operate the snow thrower with the
click pin inserted through both the RIM and the
OUTSIDE HOLE in the axle. Doing so can result in
serious damage to the drive system.
