FINAL ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTSAuger Drive Clutch
To check the adjustment of the auger drive clutch,
push forward on the left hand clutch grip (depress
the rubber bumper). There should be slack in the
cable. Release the clutch grip. The cable should be
straight. Make certain you can depress the auger
drive clutch grip against the left handle completely.
If necessary, loosen the hex lock nut and thread the
cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack) as
necessary. Refer to Figure 15. Recheck the
adjustment.
Tighten the lock nut against the cable when correct
adjustment is reached.
Traction Drive Clutch and Shift Lever Adjustment
To check the adjustment of the traction drive clutch
and shift lever, move the shift lever all the way
forward to sixth (6) position. With the traction drive
lever released, push the snow thrower forward. The
unit should move forward freely. Then engage the
traction drive clutch grip. The wheels should stop
turning.
Now release the traction drive clutch grip, and push
the unit again. Move the shift lever back to the fast
reverse position, then all the way forward again.
There should be no resistance in the shift lever, and
the and the wheels should keep turning
If you have resistance when moving the shift lever
or the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the
jam nut on the traction drive cable and unthread the
cable one turn. If the wheels do not stop when you
engage the traction drive clutch grip, loosen the jam
nut on the traction drive cable and thread the cable
in one turn. Recheck the adjustment and repeat as
necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable
when correct adjustment is reached.
NOTE:
If you are uncertain that you have reached
the correct adjustment, refer to the Adjustment
section.
ADJUSTING THE SKID SHOES
The space between the shave plate and the ground
can be adjusted.
For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise
the skid shoes into a high position on the auger
housing.
Use a middle or lower position when the area to be
cleared is uneven. See Figure 16.
Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts
and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired
position.
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.
