Adjustments
Shift Rod
If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be
achieved, adjust the shift rod as follows:
1. Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed position.
2. Remove the cotter pin and washer from the adjustment
ferrule on the shift rod and pull it out from the shift lever.
See Figure 6-7.
Figure 6-7
3. Pivot the shift bracket downward as far as it will go. See
Figure 6-8.
Figure 6-8
4. 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. Refer to Figure 6-7 inset.
5. Insert the ferrule into the upper hole and secure with the
washer and cotter pin.
Auger Control
Refer to the Assembly and Set-up section for instructions on
adjusting the auger control cable.
Skid Shoes
Refer to the Assembly and Set-up section for instructions on
adjusting the skid shoes.
Drive Control
When the drive control is released and in the disengaged "up"
position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be
tight.
NOTE: If excessive slack is present in the drive cable or if the snow
thrower's drive is disengaging intermittently during operation,
the cable may be in need of adjustment.
Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:
1. With the drive control released, push the snow thrower
gently forward. The unit should roll freely.
2. Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push the
snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn. The
unit should not roll freely.
If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in need of
adjustment. Proceed as follows:
1. Shut off the engine as instructed in the separate engine
manual.
2. Loosen the lower hex screw on the drive cable bracket. See
Figure 6-9.
