ASSEMBLY OF THE SNOW THROWER

Place the lift handle into the lift bracket on the right side of the snow thrower. Fasten the handle to the bracket using two 5/16" x 1-3/4" hex bolts, 5/16" lock washers and 5/16" hex nuts. See figure 23.

NOTE: Be sure the lift release cable's plastic covering

remains inserted into the trigger assembly while performing the next step.

Push the lift handle down into the locked position. Insert the end of the cable wire into the hole in the lift rod. Place the threaded fitting into the slot in the lift bracket, with one hex nut above and one hex nut and the lock washer below the slot. Tighten the nuts, adjusting them to eliminate slack in the cable wire. See figure 24. Refer also to the Service and Adjustments section on page 20 in this manual.

HINT: For easier assembly of the lift release cable, tilt the snow thrower forward onto the spiral auger.
