Shift Rod
If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot
be achieved, refer to Figure 5-1 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 5-1.
3. Pivot the bracket downward to take up slack in the
cable.
4. Retighten the hex nut.
5. Check for correct adjustment before operating the
snow thrower.

Chute Control
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting
the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to "Operating Your
Snow Thrower" for instructions.
The remote chute control cables have been pre-adjusted
at the factory. Move the remote chute lever on the control
panel back and forward to adjust angle of the chute
assembly.
Drive Control
Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the "Setting
up your Snowthrower" instructions to adjust the drive
control. To further check the adjustment, proceed as
follows:
1. With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to
drain gasoline or place plastic film under the gas cap if
the snow thrower has already been operated), remove
the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by
removing the self-tapping screws. See Figure 5-2.
2. Looking underneath the snow thrower, with the
drive control released, there must be 1/8" clearance
between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all
positions of the shift lever. (See Figure 5-3).
3. With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel must
contact the drive plate. See Figure 5-3.
4. If there is no friction wheel clearance, or the friction
wheel does not solidly contact the drive plate, re-
adjust the lock nut on the lower end of the drive cable
following the instructions in the Assembly section.
5. Reassemble the frame cover.
NOTE: If you placed plastic film under the gas cap earlier,
