Adjustments

WARNING

Read, understand, and follow all instruc- tions and warnings on the machine and in this manual before operating.

Never attempt to make any adjust- ments while the engine is running, except where speci- fied in operator’s manual.

Figure 15

Shift Rod

If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be achieved, refer to Figure 15 and adjust the shift rod as follows:

1.Looking underneath the handle panel, note which of the three holes in the shift lever the ferrule is inserted into. Also note the direction of insertion. Then remove the internal cotter pin and flat washer from the ferrule and withdraw the ferrule from the shift lever. See Figure 15.

2.Place shift lever in sixth (6) position or fastest forward speed.

3.Push shift rod and shift arm assembly down sharply, as far as it will go to put the drive into the fastest forward position.

4.As necessary, rotate the ferrule up or down the shift rod until the ferrule lines up with the hole from which it was earlier removed. See Figure 15.

5.From the direction noted earlier, insert the ferrule into the proper hole.

6.Reinstall the washer and the internal cotter pin.

Drive Control

Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the Set-Up instructions to adjust the drive control. To further check the adjustment, proceed as follows:

1.Drain the gasoline out of your snow thrower’s engine, and place a piece of plastic film under the gas cap to avoid spillage.

2.Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on the auger housing.

3.Remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by removing the self-tapping screws. See Figure 16.

4.With the wheel drive control released, check if there is clearance between friction wheel and drive plate in all positions of the shift lever. See Figure 17.

5.With the drive control lever engaged, check if the friction wheel solidly contacts the drive plate. See Figure 17. If not, adjust as follows:

a.Loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and thread the cable in or out as necessary.

b.Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached.

6.Reassemble the frame cover.

NOTE: If you placed plastic film under the gas cap earlier, remove it now.
