Drive Control

Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the Assembly instructions to adjust the drive control. To check the adjustment, proceed as follows:

1.With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to drain the gasoline or place plastic film under the gas cap if the snow thrower has already been operated), remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by removing the self-tapping screws.

2.With the drive control released, there must be 1/8” clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the shift lever.

3.With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel must contact the drive plate (Figure 19).

4.If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut on the drive cable and thread the cable in or out as necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached. Reassemble the frame cover.

NOTE: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be certain to remove it.
