You can also check the adjustment 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. Refer to Figure 22 in Maintenance section.

2.With the drive control released, there must be 1/8" clearance between the friction wheel and the drive pulley in all positions of the shift lever.

3.With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel must contact the drive pulley. Refer to Figure 24 in Maintenance section.

4.If adjustment is necessary, loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable index bracket and pivot the bracket upward or downward as necessary. Refer to Figure 16. Tighten the lower hex nut to secure the bracket when correct adjustment is reached.

5.Reassemble the frame cover and turn the unit back to its operating position.

NOTE: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be certain to remove it now.

Skid Shoes

The space between this shave plate and the ground can be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low position. Use middle or high position when area to be cleared is uneven.

1.Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts, washers, and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired position. See Figure 17.

2.Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoes are against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes.

3.Tighten nuts and bolts securely.
