Adjustments

WARNING

Read, understand, and follow all instruc- tions and warnings on the machine and in this manual before operating.

Never attempt to make any adjust- ments while the engine is running, except where speci- fied in operator’s manual.

Run the engine completely dry of gasoline before tipping snowthrower.

Shift Rod

If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be achieved, refer to Figure 5-1 and adjust the shift rod as follows:

1.Looking underneath the handle panel, note which of the three holes in the shift lever the ferrule is inserted into. Also note the direction of insertion. Then remove the internal cotter pin and flat washer from the ferrule and withdraw the ferrule from the shift lever. See Figure 5-1.

2.Place shift lever in sixth (6) position or fastest forward speed.

3.Push shift rod and shift arm assembly down sharply, as far as it will go to put the drive into the fastest forward position.

4.As necessary, rotate the ferrule up or down the shift rod until the ferrule lines up with the hole from which it was earlier removed. See Figure 5-1.

5.From the direction noted earlier, insert the ferrule into the proper hole.

6.Reinstall the washer and the internal cotter pin.
