9.5 DEFLECTOR

To install a new deflector cable:

Remove one jam nut from deflector cable (Figure 21). Route cable through retainer mounted on engine and chute bracket. Replace jam nut and secure cable threaded connector (from left side) to deflector bracket with cotter pin. Position deflector in its lowest position with cable control pushed full in and tighten jam nuts on chute bracket.

NOTE: Check deflector movement to highest position. Adjust jam nuts and/or threaded connector if necessary to obtain full travel.

Slide handle end of deflector control cable through hole in upper handlebar panel and secure with washer and jam nut. Secure T-handle on end of deflector control cable.

9.6 RUNNERS

CAUTION: Adjust auger/impeller housing height to clear gravel or crushed rock surfaces.

Runners should be adjusted as conditions require (Figure 21). Raising or lowering runners controls distance scraper blade is held above surface being cleared.

When operating machine on gravel surface, lower runners so that housing will not pick up gravel. On concrete, blacktopped or packed down snow surfaces, raise runners so that scraper blade scrapes clean. To reduce tendency of housing to ride up over heavy wet or hard-packed snow, remove runners and re-install with the narrow edge down.

Position unit on a flat level surface. Adjust runners by inserting a spacer of desired thickness under center of scraper blade, loosen hardware, slide runners to flat surface and retighten hardware.

NOTE: Above method keeps housing level by adjusting runners equally. Uneven runners make machine difficult to steer and results in uneven clearing.
