Drive Control, Joy-Stick Cable Adjustment

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.

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 F6 position several times. There should be no resistance in the shift lever.

If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in need of adjustment. refer to the figure at the right and proceed as follows:

•Loosen the hex jam nut on the auger control cable “Z” fitting and rotate the coupling end of the cable downward to provide more slack or upward to take up slack. See Figure 2.

•Retighten the hex jam nut and repeat all three tests to verify proper adjustment has been achieved.

Skid Shoes

The space between the skid shoes and the ground can be adjusted. See Figure 3.

•For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes higher on the auger housing.

•Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway.

CAUTION: Loose gravel can be picked up and thrown by the auger, causing injury to the operator and bystanders and/or damage to the snow thrower and surrounding property.

•Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage bolts. Move 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.

Joy-Stick Cable Adjustment

If the chute assembly does not have full range from left- to-right, or upward-and-downward, the joy-stick cables can be adjusted to take up slack:

•Using a ½” wrench, loosen the upper and lower hex nuts found on one cable adjuster.

•Grasp the metal cable housing and gently push upward to take up slack (usually no more than 1/4- inch) in the cable before retightening both hex nuts.

•Repeat on each of four cable adjusters until the chute assembly has full range in all directions.
