FINAL ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
Auger Drive Clutch
To check the adjustment of the auger drive clutch, push forward on the left hand clutch grip (depress the rubber bumper). There should be slack in the cable. Release the clutch grip. The cable should be straight. Make certain you can depress the auger drive clutch grip against the left handle completely.
If necessary, loosen the hex lock nut and thread the cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack) as necessary. Refer to Figure 15. Recheck the adjustment.
Tighten the lock nut against the cable when correct adjustment is reached.
Traction Drive Clutch and Shift Lever Adjustment
To check the adjustment of the traction drive clutch and shift lever, move the shift lever all the way forward to sixth (6) position. With the traction drive lever released, push the snow thrower forward. The unit should move forward freely. Then engage the traction drive clutch grip. The wheels should stop turning.
Now release the traction drive clutch grip, and push the unit again. Move the shift lever back to the fast reverse position, then all the way forward again. There should be no resistance in the shift lever, and the and the wheels should keep turning
If you have resistance when moving the shift lever or the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and unthread the cable one turn. If the wheels do not stop when you engage the traction drive clutch grip, loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and thread the cable in one turn. Recheck the adjustment and repeat as necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached.
NOTE: If you are uncertain that you have reached the correct adjustment, refer to the Adjustment section.
