Remove the hairpin clip and flat washer from the
shift handle under the handle panel.
•
Place shift lever in sixth (6) position (fastest forward
speed).
•
Push shift arm assembly down as far as it will go.
•
Rotate the ferrule up or down on the shift rod as
necessary until the ferrule lines up with the upper
hole in the shift lever. See Figure 12.
•
Insert ferrule from the left side of the snow thrower
into the upper hole.
•
Reinstall the hairpin clip and the washer.
NOTE:
Make certain to check for correct adjustment
of the shift rod as instructed on page 11—Drive Control
and Shift Lever before operating the snow thrower.
Auger Control
Refer to Auger Control Test on page 10 to adjust the
auger control. Check for correct adjustment as
instructed before operating the snow thrower.
Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
The tires are overinflated for shipping purposes.
