SECTION 5: MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specified in operator’s manual.

Shift Rod Adjustment

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

Place the shift lever in the fastest forward

1 speed position. Remove the hairpin clip which secures the ferrule to the shift lever.

Thread the ferrule up or down the shift rod until

3 it aligns with the hole in the shift lever behind the handle panel. Resecure the ferrule with the

hairpin clip removed earlier.

Chute Assembly

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by changing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so, stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen the plastic wing knob found on the left side of the chute assembly. Pivot the chute upward or downward before re-tightening the wing knob. See Figure 16 .
