Final Adjustments

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

Wheel Drive Control & Shift Lever

Perform the following test to determine need for adjust- ment:

Move the shift lever into sixth (6) position. See Figure 14.

With the drive control released (see Figure 11A), push the snow thrower forward, then pull it back. The machine should move freely.

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

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. To adjust, proceed as follows:

Loosen the jam nut on the drive control cable and unthread the cable one full turn. See Figure 13.

Recheck adjustment.
