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 11B), the cable should have very little slack, but should NOT be tight. See Figure 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. Make sure the throttle is set in the fast position.

•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 engine running in the fast position and 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 12.

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

•Thread the lock 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.
