Final Adjustments

After setting up your snow thrower, check the adjustments as instructed below and make any final adjustments necessary before operating the unit.

CAUTION: Perform the following test before operating the snow thrower for the first time and at the start of each winter season. Failure to comply with these adjustment instructions may cause damage to the unit.

Auger Control Test

1.To check the adjustment of the auger control, push forward the left hand control until the rubber bumper is compressed. There should be slack in the cable.

2.Release the control. The cable should be straight. Make certain you can depress the auger control against the left handle completely.

WARNING: Do not over-tighten the cable. Over-tightening may prevent the auger from disengaging and compromise the safety of the snow thrower.

3.In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine as instructed earlier in this section under the heading Starting Engine. Make sure the throttle is set in the FAST position.

4.While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower) engage the auger.

5.Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten (10) seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several times.

6.With the engine running in the FAST position and the auger control in the disengaged “up” position, walk to the front of the machine.

7.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.

8.If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut and thread the cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack). See Figure 5.

9.Recheck the adjustment. Tighten jam nut against the cable when correct adjustment is reached.

1.Tip the snow thrower forward so that it rests on the auger housing.

2.Move the shift lever all the way forward to the sixth

(6) position.

3.With the drive control released, spin the snow thrower wheels by hand. The wheels should turn; however, you may feel some resistance.

4.Engage the drive control. The wheels should no longer turn.

5.Now release the drive control and spin the wheels again.

6.Move the shift lever back to the fast reverse position and then all the way forward again. There should be no resistance in the shift lever and the wheels should turn.

7.If you face resistance when moving the shift lever or the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the jam nut on the drive cable and unthread the cable one turn.
