150°F. Avoid these areas.

•For the most efficient snow removal, remove snow immediately after it falls.

•Discharge the snow downwind whenever possible.

•Slightly overlap each previous path.

•Set the skid shoes 1/4" below the shave plate for normal usage. The skid shoes may be adjusted upward (to lower the shave plate) for hard-packed snow. Adjust downward (to raise the shave plate) when using on gravel or crushed rock.

SECTION 5: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: NEVER attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specified in the operator’s manual.

Chute Assembly Adjustment

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to the Chute Tilt Control in the Know Your Snow Thrower Section.

Traction Control Adjustment

Refer to the information found under Final Adjustment in the Assembly Section to adjust the traction control. If you are uncertain that you have reached the correct adjustment, proceed as follows:

WARNING: Drain the gasoline out of the snow thrower’s tank, or place a piece of plastic film under the gas cap to avoid spillage BEFORE making the adjustment.

•Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on the auger housing.

•Remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by removing the six self-tapping screws.

•With the traction control released, there must be clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the shift lever.

•With the traction control engaged, the friction wheel must contact the drive plate. See Figure 8.
