Adjustments

Drive Control

When the drive control is released and in the disengaged “up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be tight. Also,

if there is excessive slack in the drive cable or if the unit experiences intermittent drive while using, the cable may need to be adjusted. Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:

1.With the drive control released, push the snow thrower gently forward. The unit should roll freely.

2.Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push the snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn. The unit should not roll freely.

3.With the drive control released, move the shift lever back and forth between the R2 position and the F5 position several times. There should be no resistance in the shift lever.

4.If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in need of adjust- ment. Proceed as follows:

5.Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket. See Figure 18.

6.Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or downward to increase cable tension).

7.Retighten the lower hex nut.

NOTE: Augers not shown for clarity.
