Lift Rod Adjustment
The lift lever can be placed in one of three notches and is held in position by the lever latch. (see Figure 7). When the lever latch is placed in notch 1 the lift lever should be applying downward pressure on the attach- ment. In position 2, the “float” position, the attachment should experience negligible upward or downward pres- sure. Position 3 should raise the attachment approxi- mately 6“ above the ground.
NOTE: Always adjust the lift height before and after adjusting the downward pressure.
LIFT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
1.Place the lever latch in notch 3 (see Figure 7). The snowthrower should be approximately 6” off the ground. If not, go to step 2.
2.Lower the attachment and adjust the front set collar (A, Figure 7) to achieve the correct lift height.
