SECTION 5: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specified in operator’s manual.

Shift Rod Adjustment

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

1.Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed position. Remove the hairpin clip which secures the ferrule to the shift lever.

2.Rotate the shift arm clockwise as far as it will go.

3.Thread the ferrule up or down the shift rod until it aligns with the hole in the shift lever behind the handle panel. Resecure the ferrule with the hairpin clip removed earlier.

Tire Pressure

Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce pressure to between 15 psi and 20 psi.

NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may pull to one side or the other.

Chute Assembly

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by changing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so, stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen the plastic wing knob found on the left side of the chute assembly. Pivot the chute upward or downward before re-tightening the wing knob. See Figure 3.
