Shift Rod Adjustment

To adjust the shift rod, proceed as follows:

•Remove the hairpin clip and slide the shift rod connector up, to separate the upper shift rod from the lower shift rod. See Figure 11.

•Place the shift lever into the sixth (6) position.

•Rotate the shift arm clockwise (from the operator’s position) as far as it will go.

•Thread the upper shift rod downward until the elbow on its lower end aligns with the hole found in the lower shift rod.

•Reconnect the upper shift rod to the lower shift rod by reinserting the hairpin clip removed earlier and sliding the shift rod connector back down into place.

IMPORTANT: Make certain to check for correct adjustment of the shift rod as instructed under Final Adjustments in the Assembly Section, before operating the snow thrower.

Skid Shoes

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted.

•For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes higher on the auger housing.

•Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared is uneven.

•Adjust skid shoes by loosening the flange lock nuts and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired position. See Figure 12.

Figure 12

•Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

•Repeat on the other side of the snow thrower.

WARNING: Do not operate this snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily picked up and thrown by the auger causing injury to the operator and/or damage to the snow thrower.

Carburetor

•Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude and load.

•Refer to the separate engine manual, packed with your unit, for carburetor adjustment information.
