Auger Control Adjustment
To check the adjustment of the auger control, push forward on the left hand control, depressing the rub- ber bumper on end of control. There should be slack in the cable. Release the control. The cable should be straight. Make certain you can depress the auger control against the left handle completely.
If necessary, loosen the hex lock nut and thread the cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack) as necessary. Recheck the adjustment. Tighten the lock nut against the cable when correct adjustment is reached. See Figure 6.

Traction Control and Shift Lever Adjustment
To check the adjustment of the traction control and shift lever, move the shift lever all the way forward to sixth (6) position. With the traction control released, push the snow thrower forward. The unit should roll forward. Then engage the traction control grip. The wheels should stop turning.
Now release the traction control, and push the unit again. Move the shift lever back to the fast reverse position, then all the way forward again. There should be no resistance in the shift lever, and the wheels should keep turning.
If you have resistance when moving the shift lever or the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable and unthread the cable one turn. If the wheels do not stop when you engage the traction control grip, loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable and thread the cable in one turn. Recheck the adjustment and repeat as necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached.
NOTE: If you are uncertain that you have reached the correct adjustment, refer to SECTION 6: ADJUSTMENTS.
SKID SHOE ADJUSTMENT
The space between the shave plate and the ground can be adjusted by adjusting the skid shoes.
1.Place skid shoes in the low position to remove snow close to the ground. Place skid shoes in a higher position to remove snow from uneven ground. See Figure 7.
2.Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts and carriage bolts and moving 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.
