Drive Control

When the drive control is released and in the disengaged “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 disengaged,
	push the snow thrower gently
	forward. The unit should roll freely.
2.	Engage the drive control and gently
	attempt to push the snow thrower	Disengaged
	forward. The wheels should not turn.
	The unit should not roll freely.

3.With the drive control disengaged, 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.

If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in need of adjustment. refer to Figure 18 and proceed as follows:

•Loosen the hex jam nut on the auger control cable “Z” fitting and rotate the coupling end (without turning the cable) of the cable downward to provide more slack or upward to take up slack. See Figure 18 .

Refer to Auger Control Test on Page 12 to adjust the auger control.

Figure 18

NOTE: The space between the skid shoes and the ground can be adjusted. See Figure 19. For close snow removal, place skid shoe in the low position. Use middle or high position when area to be cleared is uneven.

NOTE: Some models are equipped with reversible skid shoes and may be turned over to increase their lifespan. See Figure 19.

CAUTION: Loose gravel can be picked up and thrown by the auger, causing injury to the operator and bystanders and/or damage to the snow thrower and surrounding property.

•Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts (two on each side) and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired position.

•Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

•Retighten the hex jam nut and repeat all three tests to verify proper adjustment has been achieved.
