Cable Tie

Figure 13

Secure the left turn trigger cable to the lower handle using the other cable tie. Make sure to route the cable tie below the auger drive cable so that when the trigger cable is secured by the cable tie, the auger drive cable is left outside the cable tie. Trim excess ends from each cable tie.

NOTE: The right side cable tie must be used to keep cable from coming in contact with the moving shift arm from the transmission.

Lamp Wiring

Wrap the wire from the lamp down the right handle as shown in Figure 15.

Plug wire into the alternator lead wire under the fuel tank. See Figure 14 .

Final Adjustments

Auger Control

To check the adjustment of the auger control, push forward the left hand clutch grip until the rubber bumper is compressed. There should be slack in the clutch cable.

Release the clutch grip. The cable should be straight. Make certain you can depress the auger control grip against the left handle completely.

If adjustment is necessary, loosen the hex jam nut and thread the cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack). See Figure 15.

Recheck the adjustment. Tighten the jam nut against the cable when correct adjustment is reached.

IMPORTANT: Assemble your snow thrower, then check the adjustments as instructed and make any final adjustments necessary before operating the unit. Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage to the snow thrower.

Chute Clean-Out Tool

This tool is fastened with a cable tie to the rear of the auger housing for shipping purposes. Cut the cable tie and remove the tool before operating the snow thrower.

Figure 15

Traction Drive Clutch and Shift Lever

Tip the snow thrower forward so that it rests on the auger housing.

Move the shift lever all the way forward to the sixth

(6) position.

With the traction drive lever released, spin the snow thrower wheels by hand. The wheels should turn; however, you may feel some resistance.

Engage the traction drive clutch grip. The wheels should no longer turn.

Now release the traction drive clutch grip, and spin the wheels 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 wheels should turn.
