ATTACHING THE SHIFT ROD
(Hardware D)
1.Place the shift lever (on the handle panel) in the sixth (6) speed position (all the way forward).
2.Place the bent end of the shift rod into the hole in the shift arm assembly. See figure 9. Secure with flat washer and hairpin clip.
3.Start threading the ferrule onto the other end of the shift rod. Push down on the shift rod (and shift arm assembly) as far as it will go.
4.Thread the ferrule onto the shift rod until the ferrule lines up with the upper hole in the shift lever (beneath the handle panel). Insert the ferrule into the upper hole in the shift lever from the left side when adjustment is correct. Secure with flat washer and hairpin clip.
Make certain to check for correct adjustment of the shift rod as instructed in the Final Adjustment section before operating the snow thrower.
ATTACHING THE CLUTCH CABLES
The “Z” end of the clutch cables are hooked into the clutch grips on each handle. Attach cables as follows.
1.Thread the hex jam nuts all the way up the threaded portion of the “Z” ends of the clutch cables.
2.Make certain each cable is in groove of cable roller guides. Place the clutch grip in the raised (up) position.
3.Thread the cable onto the threaded portion of the “Z” and until there is no slack in the cable, but the cable is NOT tight. Do not overtighten cable. See figure 10.
WARNING: If cable is tightened so there is tension on the cable with the clutch grip released, the safety features of the snow thrower may be overridden.
4.When correct adjustment is reached, tighten the hex jam nut against the bottom portion of the cable to lock it in position.
ATTACHING THE TRACK CONTROLS
(Hardware G)
1.Remove the screw from the top of the right hand track control. Be careful not to lose the flat weld nut that is inside the control.
2.Place the right track control in position underneath the right handle. Secure with screw just removed. See figure 11.
3.Secure the left track control in the same manner.
