NOTE: If the connector is not properly assembled, the shift rod will pivot and you will not be able to change speeds or change directions.

If not already attached, slip the cables that run from the handle panel to the chute into the cable guide located on top of the engine. See Figure 4.

Cable Guide

Figure 4

Unwrap the headlight wire, which is attached to the headlight beneath the handle panel.

Wind the headlight wire around the right handle until excess slack is removed.

Plug the wire from the right side of the engine, beneath the fuel tank.

Final Adjustments

Auger Control Adjustment

Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:

Push forward on the auger control (Refer to Figure 7 ) until the small rubber bumper contacts the upper handle. There should be slack in the cable. See Figure 5 .

Release the auger control. The cable should be

straight. Make certain you can depress the auger control against the left handle completely without using excess force.

If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:

Loosen the jam nut and thread the cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack) as necessary. See Figure 5 .

Recheck the adjustment before retightening the jam nut against the cable.

Traction Control and Shift Lever Adjustment

NOTE: It is easier to maneuver a non-running snow thrower with both track steering controls held in simultaneously.

To check the adjustment of the traction control and shift lever, proceed as follows:

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

a.With the traction control (see Figure 7 ) released, push the snow thrower forward, then pull it back. Disregarding the overall weight of the snow thrower, the machine should otherwise move freely.

b.Engage the traction control, and attempt to move the machine both forward and rearward. You should experience resistance as the wheels should not be turning.

Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2)

position and repeat the previous steps (a & b).

If you experienced resistance either when repositioning the shift lever (see Figure 7 ) from position 6 to R2 or when attempting to move the machine forward or rearward with the traction control released, your snow thrower’s traction control is in need of adjustment and you should NOT operate the snow thrower before completing the adjustment as follows:
