ATTACHING THE CLUTCH CABLES

The “Z” end of the clutch cables are hooked into the clutch grips on each handle. Attach cables as follows.

1.Thread the hex jam nuts all the way up the threaded portion of the “Z” ends of the clutch cables.

2.Make certain each cable is in groove of cable roller guides. Place the clutch grip in the raised (up) position.

3.Thread the cable onto the threaded portion of the “Z” and until there is no slack in the cable, but the cable is NOT tight. Do not overtighten cable. See Figure 13.

WARNING: Overtightened of the cable will create a safety hazard by disallowing the clutch to disengage. Do NOT overtighten.

ATTACHING THE SHIFT ROD

(Hardware B)

1.Place the shift lever (on the handle panel) in the fifth speed position (all the way to the left).

2.Place the bent end of the shift rod into the hole in the shift arm assembly. See Figure 15. Secure with flat washer and hairpin clip.

3.Start threading the ferrule onto the other end of the shift rod. Lift up on the shift rod (and shift arm assembly) as far as it will go.

4.Thread the ferrule onto the shift rod until the ferrule lines up with the lower hole in the shift lever (beneath the handle panel). Insert the ferrule into the upper hole in the shift lever from the left side when adjustment is correct. Secure with flat washer and hairpin clip.

5.Make certain to check for correct adjustment of the shift rod as instructed in the Final Adjustment section before operating the snow thrower.
