•Unwrap the headlight wire which is attached to the headlight, beneath the handle panel. Wind the headlight wire around the lower right handle until excess slack is removed. See Figure 4.

•Plug the wire from the headlight into the alternator lead coming from the right side of the engine underneath the fuel tank.

Chute Clean-Out Tool

•This tool, along with the electric cord, is fastened with a cable tie to the rear ofthe auger housing for shipping purposes. Cut the cable tie and remove the tool before operating the snow thrower.

Final Adjustments

Make these final adjustments before operating your snow thrower for the first time. Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage to the snow thrower.

NOTE: If you have a question about the terms used in these instructions, refer to the descriptions and illustration starting on page 7.

Traction Control & Shift Lever

Perform the following test to determine need for adjustment:

•Move the shift lever into sixth (6) position.

•With the traction control released, push the snow thrower forward, then pull it back. The machine should move freely.

•Engage the traction control and attempt to move the machine both forward and back, resistance should be felt.

•Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2) position and repeat the previous two steps.

If you experienced resistance rolling the unit, either when repositioning the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when attempting to move the machine with the traction control released, adjust the traction control immediately. To adjust, proceed as follows:

•Loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable and unthread the cable one full turn.

•Recheck adjustment.

•Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached.

NOTE: For more details, refer to Traction Control Adjustment on page 11.

Auger Control

Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:

•When the auger control is released and in the disengaged “up” position, the cable should have very little slack, but should NOT be tight.

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

•In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine as instructed on page 9. 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 (10) 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, loosen the hex jam nut on the auger control cable “Z” fitting.

•Rotate the coupling end of the cable counterclockwise to provide more slack.

•Retighten the hex jam nut. See Figure 5.

•Repeat Auger Control Test to verify proper adjustment has been achieved..
