•Place shift lever in the sixth (6) Forward position.

•Rotate the shift arm counterclockwise (from the operator’s position) as far as it will go.

•Thread the upper shift rod downward until the elbow on its lower end aligns with the hole found in the lower shift rod.

•Reconnect the upper shift rod to the lower shift rod by reinserting the hairpin clip removed earlier and sliding the connector back down into place.

IMPORTANT: Make certain to check for correct adjustment of the shift rod as instructed under the heading Final Adjustments on page 11 of this manual, before operating the snow thrower.

Drive Wheels

The wheels may be adjusted for two different methods of operation. The adjustment is made by placing the click pins in one of two different holes on the right side of the unit. See Figure 12.

Figure 12

One Wheel Driving—Insert the click pin only through the outside hole of the axle (NOT the rim) on the right side of the snow thrower. This position gives power drive to the left wheel only, making the unit easier to maneuver.

Both Wheels Driving—Insert the click pin through the hole in the hub of the rim and the INSIDE hole on the snow thrower’s right axle. This position is good for heavy snow as there is power drive in both wheels.

IMPORTANT: NEVER operate the snow thrower with the click pin inserted through both the RIM and the OUTSIDE HOLE in the axle. Doing so can result in serious damage to the drive system.
