Chute Directional Control

To adjust the chute control rod, proceed as follows:

1.Remove the cotter pin from either of the holes closest to the chute assembly on the chute rotation assembly.

2.Pull out the chute control rod until the hole in it lines up with the hole furthest from the chute assembly on the chute rotation assembly. See Figure 6-6.

Continuous Tracks

The snow thrower is equipped with an auto-tensioner on both the left and right sides. The system is designed to maintain constant tension on both tracks. However, if the snow thrower fails to propel itself because the track wheel is “jumping” drive lugs, the tracks are too loose and are in need of adjustment. See an authorized Service Dealer to have the tracks properly adjusted. See Figure 6-7.
