SERVICE & ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: Always stop the engine, disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from the spark plug before performing any adjustments or repairs.

Adjustments

Chute Assembly

The distance that snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to the Controls section of this manual.

The remote chute control cables have been pre- adjusted at the factory. Move the remote chute lever on the control panel back and forward to adjust angle of the chute asssembly.

WARNING: Never attempt to clean chute or make any adjustments while engine is running.

Skid Shoe

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low position. Use middle or high position when area to be cleared is uneven.

Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired position.

Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.

Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

NOTE: It is not recommended that you operate this snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily picked up and thrown by the auger causing an injury or damage to the snow thrower.

If for some reason, you have to operate the snow thrower on gravel, keep the skid shoe in the highest position for maximum clearance between the ground and the shave plate.

Traction Drive Clutch

Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the Assembly instructions to adjust the traction drive clutch. To check the adjustment, proceed as follows:

With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to drain the gasoline or place plastic film under the gas cap if the snow thrower has already been operated), remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by removing sixself-tapping screws.

With the traction drive clutch released, there must be clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the shift lever.

With the traction drive clutch engaged, the friction wheel must contact the drive plate (Figure 34).

If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and thread the cable in or out as necessary. See Figure 26 . Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached. Reassemble the frame cover.

NOTE: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be certain to remove it.
