•Loosen the Nylock nut on the drive control cable and unthread the cable one full turn. See Figure 3-13.

•Recheck adjustment.

•Retighten the Nylock nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached.

NOTE: For more details, refer to Drive Control Adjust- ment in the Adjustment Section of this manual.

Auger Control

Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:

•When the auger control is released and in the disengaged “up” position (see Figure 3-11B), the cable should have very little slack, but should NOT be tight. See Figure 3-12.

WARNING:Do not over-tighten the cable. Over-tightening may prevent the auger from disengaging and compro- mise the safety of the snow thrower.

•In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine as instructed on page 12.

•While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower) engage the auger.

•Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several times.

•With the auger control lever in the disengaged “up” position, walk to the front of the machine.

•Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating and shows no signs of motion.

IMPORTANT: If the auger shows any signs of rotating, immediately return to the operator’s position and shut off the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop before readjusting the auger control cable.

•To readjust the control cable, unhook the spring (found on the end of the auger cable) from the auger actuator bracket. See Figure 3-12.

•Push the cable coupler through the end of the spring to expose the lock nut. See Figure 3-13.

•Thread the Nylock nut outward (down the coupler) three full turns to provide more slack in the cable and reattach the spring to the bracket.

•Repeat auger control test to verify for proper adjustment. Repeat previous steps to adjust more, if necessary.

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.

Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)

The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check the tire pressure before operating the snow thrower. Refer to the tire side wall for tire manufacturer’s recommended psi and deflate (or inflate) the tires as necessary.

WARNING

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

IMPORTANT

If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may not travel in a straight path and the shave plate may wear unevenly.
