Making

Adjustments

WARNING

Read, understand, and follow all instruc- tions and warnings on the machine and in this manual before operating.

Never attempt to make any adjust- ments while the engine is running, except where speci- fied in operator’s manual.

Auger Control

Refer to Auger Control Test on Page 11 to adjust the auger control.

Shift Cable

If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be achieved, refer to the figures to the right and adjust the shift cable as follows:

1.Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed position.

2.Loosen the hex nut on the shift cable index bracket. See Figure 5-3.

3.Pivot the bracket downward to take up slack in the cable.

4.Retighten the hex nut.

Drive Control

When the drive control is released and in the disen- gaged “up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be tight.

Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:

1.With the drive control released, push the snow thrower gently forward. The unit should roll freely.

2.Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push the snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn. The unit should not roll freely.

3.With the drive control released, move the shift lever back and forth between the R2 position and the F6 position several times. There should be no resistance in the shift lever.

4.If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in need of adjustment. Proceed as follows:

5.Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket. See Figure 5-4.

6.Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or downward to increase cable tension).

7.Retighten the lower hex nut.

Chute Assembly (optional)

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by chang- ing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so:

1.Stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen the plastic wing knob found on the left side of the chute assembly.

2.Pivot the chute upward or downward before retight- ening the wing knob. See Figure 5-5.

This tiller stands out for its robust features, advanced technologies, and user-friendly characteristics, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned gardeners and those new to gardening.

One of the main features of the Troy-Bilt 769-03244 is its powerful 4-cycle engine, which provides sufficient torque and durability needed to break up tough soil and prepare it for planting.

This feature allows the tines to spin in the opposite direction of the tiller’s forward motion, providing superior soil penetration and reducing the risk of the tiller bouncing or skipping across the ground. This innovation not only enhances tilling efficiency but also improves soil aeration, leading to healthier root systems for your plants.

Additional user-friendly characteristics include the adjustable handle, which can be modified to accommodate different heights for operator comfort and ease of control. The tiller’s lightweight design makes it easier to transport and store, adding to its practicality.
