ADJUSTING CHUTE

You can control the distance that snow is thrown by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. The sharper the angle, the shorter the distance snow is thrown.

1.To adjust the chute, loosen the hand knob. See Figure 24.

2.Pivot the top of the chute assembly to the position desired.

ADJUSTING SKID SHOE

The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted by adjusting the skid shoe. Slide the skid shoe upwards and lower the housing to remove snow close to the ground. Slide skid shoe downwards and raise the housing to remove snow from uneven ground like gravel. For more details, refer to Adjusting the Skid Shoes in section 5.

ADJUSTING TRACTION CONTROL CLUTCH

Refer to the Final Adjustments section on page 10 for instructions to adjust the traction control clutch. If you are not sure whether you have been able to adjust the traction control clutch properly, check as follows.

1.Drain the gasoline from the snow thrower or put a plastic film under the gas cap if the snow thrower has already been operated. Tip the snow thrower forward onto the auger housing.

2.Remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by removing the six self-tapping screws.

3.With the traction control clutch released, check if there is clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the shift lever. For correct adjustment there has to be enough clearance.

4.With the traction control clutch engaged, check if the friction wheel is contacting the drive plate. See Figure 25.

5.If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable, and thread cable in or out as necessary.

6.Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached. Reassemble the frame cover with six self-tapping screws.
