DRIVE WHEELS (Models 860 and 960)
Snow throwers model 860 and 960 are equipped
with a differential which makes the unit easy to
maneuver. It may be adjusted for two different
methods of operation. The adjustment is made by
placing the klick pins in one of two different holes
on each side of the unit. See figure 25.
1. Differential Action —Place klick pin in the out¬
side hole in the axle. This position allows easy
maneuvering when blowing light to medium
snow.
2. Straight Axle Action—Place klick pin in the
hole in the hub next to the rim on the right
wheel. This position should be used when
blowing heavy snow or when greater traction
is needed (icy surfaces, etc.). The unit will be
more difficult to maneuver.
DRIVE AND AUGER CLUTCH ADJUSTMENTS
To adjust the drive or auger clutch, unhook the
spring from the drive or auger bracket. Refer to
steps 21 and 22 under Assembly Instructions for
proper adjustment.
SHIFT ROD ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the shift rod, place the shift lever in
neutral. Remove the cotter pin which secures the
shift rod to the shift lever. Adjust as specified in
step numbers 16 and 17 under Assembly Instruc¬
tions.
