ADJUSTMENTS

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

Shift Rod

If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be achieved, refer to Figure 14 and adjust the shift rod as follows:

1.Looking underneath the handle panel, note which of the three holes in the shift lever the ferrule is inserted into. Also note the direction of insertion. Then remove the internal cotter pin and flat washer from the ferrule and withdraw the ferrule from the shift lever. See

Figure 14.

2. Place shift lever in sixth (6) position or fastest forward speed.

3.Push shift rod and shift arm assembly down sharply, as far as it will go to put the drive into the fastest forward position.

4.As necessary, rotate the ferrule up or down the shift rod until the ferrule lines up with the hole from which it was earlier removed. See Figure 14.

5.From the direction noted earlier, insert the ferrule into the proper hole.

6.Reinstall the washer and the internal cotter pin.

Drive Control

WARNING: Run the engine completely dry of gasoline before tipping snowthrower.

Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the Set-Up instructions to adjust the drive control. To further check the adjustment, proceed as follows:

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

2.Remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by removing the self-tapping screws. See Figure 15.

3.With the wheel drive control released, check if there is clearance between friction wheel and drive plate in all positions of the shift lever. See Figure 16.

4.With the drive control lever engaged, check if the friction wheel solidly contacts the drive plate. See Figure 16. If not, adjust as follows:

a.Loosen the jam nut on the drive cable and thread the cable in or out as necessary.

b.Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjust- ment is reached.

5.Reassemble the frame cover.
