Traction Drive Clutch
Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the Set-Up
Instructions to adjust the traction drive clutch. To check
the adjustment, proceed as follows:

operated), remove the frame cover underneath the
snow thrower by removing six self-tapping screws.
•
With the traction drive clutch released, there must
be clearance between the friction wheel and the
drive plate in all positions of the shift lever.
•
With the traction drive clutch engaged, the friction
wheel must contact the drive plate (Figure 20).
•
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut on
the traction drive cable and thread the cable in or
out as necessary. See Figure 9.
