11.Route the left cable between engine and speed selector plate and then between handle panel and clutch lever pivot rod. Make sure the cable is routed

correctly in the cable roller guides located at the lower rear of the unit.

12.Thread cable onto the left "Z" fitting.

13.Assemble the right "Z" fitting on the right clutch grip and attach the right cable in the same manner. Both cables should have minimal slack, but not tight.

Tighten or loosen hex nuts on "Z" fittings to adjust.

IMPORTANT: If the right lock-out cable is not adjusted, the wheels will tend to turn. If the left lock-out cable is not adjusted, the augers will keep on rotating.

NOTE: The drive clutch cable is routed overthe axle.

Final Assembly & Adjustments

Auger Control

1.To check the adjustment of the auger control, push forward on the left hand clutch grip (depress the rubber bumper). There should be slack in the cable. Release the clutch grip. The cable should be straight. Make certain you can depress the auger control grip against the left handle completely.

2.If necessary, loosen the hex lock nut and thread the cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack) as necessary. Refer to Figure 4.

3.Tighten the lock nut against the cable when correct adjustment is reached.

Traction Control & Shift Lever

1.To check the adjustment of the traction controt and shift lever, move the shift lever all the way to the right to fifth (5) position. With the traction control released, push the snow thrower forward. The unit should move forward freely. Then engage the traction control grip. The wheels should not turn.

2.Now release the traction control grip, and push the unit again. Move the shift lever back to the fast reverse position, then all the way forward again. There should be no resistance in the shift lever, and the wheels should keep turning.

3.If you feel resistance when moving the shift lever or the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable and unthread the cable one turn.

4.If the wheels do not stop when you engage the traction control grip, loosen jam nut on the traction control cable and thread the cable in one turn.

5.Recheck the adjustment and repeat as necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached.

NOTE: For more details, refer to the Adjustment section on page 16.

_bb WARNING: Do not over-tighten the clutch

cables. Tension on either cable in the disengaged (up) position may override the

safety features of the machine.

Chute Clean-Out Tool

This tool and the electric extension cord are fastened

with a cable tie to the rear of the auger housing for shipping purposes. Cut the cable tie and remove the electric cord before operating the snow thrower.
