Shift Cable

If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be achieved, refer to the figure to the left and adjust the shift cable as follows:

1.Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed position.

2.Loosen the hex nut on the speed selector pivot bracket. See Figure 5-1.

3.Pivot the bracket downward to take up slack in the cable.

4.Retighten the hex nut.

5.If further adjustment is needed, you may also utilize the upper or lower hole in the pivot bracket.

6.Check for correct adjustment before operating the snow thrower.

Chute Control

Once a season or every 25 hours of operation, whichever is earlier, check whether the two-way chute control™ cables have slackened. If the chute pitch cannot be moved up or down, the chute control cables will have to be adjusted.

To adjust these cables, proceed as follows:

1.To tighten cable, loosen the top nut and tighten the bottom nut on the cable.

2.Adjust equally on both sides by working on both cables. See Figure 5-2.

Drive Control

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

1.With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to drain gasoline or place plastic film under the gas cap if the snow thrower has already been operated), remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by removing the self-tapping screws. See Figure 5-3.

2.Locate the opening between the axle support bracket and the front frame support (See Figure 5-4). Looking through this opening, with the drive control released, there must be 1/8” clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the shift lever.

3.With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel must contact the drive plate. See Figure 5-4.

4.If there is no friction wheel clearance, or the friction wheel does not solidly contact the drive plate, re- adjust the lock nut on the lower end of the drive cable following the instructions in the Assembly section.

5.Reassemble the frame cover.

NOTE: If you placed plastic film under the gas cap earlier, remove it now.
