Lift Rod Adjustment

The lift lever can be placed in one of three notches and is held in position by the lever latch. (see Figure 7). When the lever latch is placed in notch 1 the lift lever should be applying downward pressure on the attach- ment. In position 2, the “float” position, the attachment should experience negligible upward or downward pres- sure. Position 3 should raise the attachment approxi- mately 6“ above the ground.

NOTE: Always adjust the lift height before and after adjusting the downward pressure.

LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

1.Place the lever latch in notch 3 (see Figure 7). The snowthrower should be approximately 6” off the ground. If not, go to step 2.

2.Lower the attachment and adjust the front set collar (A, Figure 7) to achieve the correct lift height.

IMPORTANT NOTE

DO NOT OVER-COMPRESS THE SPRINGS. In addition to providing downward pressure, the springs are an elastic medium that absorbs shocks caused by bumps and cracks in ground surfaces. Over-compress- ing the springs defeats this and may cause damage to the unit.

Notch 3

Notch 1

1.Move the lever latch from notch 2 to notch 1 (See Figure 7).

2.The spring (C, Figure 6) should be slightly com- pressed applying downward pressure to the snowthrower. If not, adjust the rear set collar (D, Figure 6) to achieve the desired amount of downward force. Do not over-compress the lift rod spring.
