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.

Shift Cable

If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be achieved, refer to the figure to the left and adjust the shift cable as follows:

1.Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed position.

2.Loosen the hex nut on the shift cable index bracket. See Figure 13.

3.Pivot the bracket downward to take up slack in the cable.

4.Retighten the hex nut.

5.Check for correct adjustment before operating the snow thrower.

Chute Control

Once a season or every 25 hours of operation, whichever is earlier, check whether the four-way chute control™ cables have slackened. If the chute does not rotate fully or its pitch cannot be moved up or down, the chute control cables will have to be adjusted.

To adjust these cables, proceed as follows:

1.To tighten cable, loosen the top nut and tighten the bottom nut on the cable.

2.Adjust equally on both sides by working on both cables. See Figure 14.

Drive Control & Shift Lever

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.

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

5.Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket. See Figure 15.

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

7.Retighten the lower hex nut.

You can also check the adjustment as follows:

1.With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to drain 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 the self-tapping screws. Refer to Figure 20 on page 17.
