Traction Control Cable Adjustment; Chute Rotation Motor Adjustment - Simplicity 1695665 Manual

TRACTION CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT

Initial Adjustment
1. Lift the bellcrank arm up as far as it will go (see Figure 31).
2. While holding the bell crank arm up, adjust the cable until all the slack
is removed.
3. Back the adjustment screw out 7-8 turns. Tighten nut.
4. Start engine and check that the system disengages when the control is
released.
WARNING: Do not over-tighten, as this may cause
traction drive to engage without depressing the
traction drive control (bellcrank arm must remain in
down position).
Verify that the cables are not over-tightened: With
speed selector in position 1 and traction drive
control fully released, push snowthrower forward.
The unit should move forward freely.
If unit does not move forward freely, the cable has
been over-tightened. To remedy, loosen tension on
clutch cable slightly, and recheck.
Run-In Adjustment
1. After 5 hours of use, check for proper adjustment.
2. Readjust clutch cable if necessary by increasing tension on cable. A
small amount of bellcrank arm movement is permissible if unit passes
operating checks described in the Warning above.

CHUTE ROTATION MOTOR ADJUSTMENT

If the electric chute rotator does not function properly, check the electrical
connections and then perform the procedure below.
1. Remove the rotator motor cover.
2. Lubricate the chute ring gear.
3. Holding screws (A A , Figure 32) in place, secure the rotator motor with
the locknuts (B B ). Adjust the hardware so that the motor gear and
chute ring gear mesh.
