Adjustments

WARNING

Read, understand, and follow all instruc- tions and warnings on the machine and in this manual before operating.

Never attempt to make any adjust- ments while the engine is running, except where speci- fied in operator’s manual.

Auger Control

Refer to Auger Control Test on Page 11 to adjust the auger control.

Drive Control

When the drive control is released and in the disen- gaged “up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be tight.

Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:

1.With the drive control released, push the snow thrower gently forward. The unit should roll freely.

2.Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push the snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn. The unit should not roll freely.

3.With the drive control released, move the shift lever back and forth between the R2 position and the F6 position several times. There should be no resistance in the shift lever.

4.If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in need of adjustment. Proceed as follows:

5.Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket. See Figure 3.

6.Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or downward to increase cable tension).

7.Retighten the upper hex nut.

Chute Assembly

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by chang- ing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so:

1.Stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen the plastic wing knob found on the left side of the chute assembly.

2.Pivot the chute upward or downward before retight- ening the wing knob. See Figure 4.
