Shear Pin Storage (optional)

An area for convenient shear pin storage is located at the rear of the dash panel.

Drift Cutters (If Equipped)

Drift cutters should be used when operating the snow thrower in heavy drift conditions.

•On models so equipped, drift cutters and hardware are assembled to the auger housing inverted.

•Remove the carriage bolts and wingnuts securing the drift cutters to the housing.

•Reposition drift cutters so they face forward as shown in Figure 3-6. Secure with hardware previously removed, wingnuts should be fastened on the outside of the housing as shown.

If your unit is not equipped with drift cutters, you may contact Customer Support as instructed on page 2 for information regarding price and availability.

Clean-Out Tool

The clean-out tool is mounted to the rear of the auger housing and is designed to clear a clogged chute. Refer to page 9 for instructions on how to properly use it.

NOTE: This item is fastened with a cable tie to the rear of the auger housing at the factory. Cut the cable tie before operating the snow thrower.

WARNING: Never use your hands to clean snow and ice from the chute assembly or auger housing.

Lamp Wiring Harness (If equipped)

The post on the cable tie attaching the lamp wiring har- ness to the lower handle should be plugged into the hole in the lower handle. Pull the slack portion of the wiring harness through the cable tie to prevent interference with the recoil starter handle. See Figure 3-7.

Skid Shoes

Position the skid shoes based on surface conditions. Adjust upward for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward when operating on gravel or crushed rock surfaces. See “Making Adjustment” Section.
