Final Adjustments

Make these final assembly adjustments before operating your snow thrower for the first time. Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage to the snow thrower.

Testing Drive Control & Shift Lever

Refer to Figure 3-9 for location of controls.

1.Move the shift lever into sixth (6) position.

2.With the wheel drive control released, push the snow thrower forward, then pull it back. The machine should move freely.

3.Engage the drive control and attempt to move the machine both forward and back, resistance should be felt.

4.Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2) position and repeat the previous two steps.

If you experienced resistance rolling the unit, either when repositioning the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when attempting to move the machine with the drive control released, adjust the drive control immediately. See Adjusting Drive and Auger Controls.

Testing Auger Drive Control

When the auger control is released and in the disengaged “up” position, the cable should have very little slack, but should NOT be tight.

1.In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine as instructed in the Operation section. Make sure the throttle is set in the fast position.

2.While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow thrower), engage the auger control and allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several times.

3.With the engine running in the fast position and the auger control in the disengaged “up” position, walk to the front of the machine.

Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating and shows no signs of motion.

4.If the auger shows any signs of rotating, immediately return to the operator’s position and shut off the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop before readjusting the auger control cable.
