SNOWTHROWER ASSEMBLY

Assemble Support Arm and Control Rod
NOTICE
Do not let the pivot bearing (D, Figure 26) support
the weight of the control rod or the bearing could
be damaged.
1. See Figure 26. Attach the support arm (E) to the
frame with the 1" capscrews and locknuts (F) sup-
plied.
2. See Figure 26. Place the the thin, plastic liner (B)
inside the rod guide (C). Place the rod guide (C) over
the discharge chute control rod (H) and loosely attach
the guide to the support arm (E) in any of the three
mounting holes. Use the 3-1/2" capscrew, locknut
(J), and spacer (K) provided.
3. See Figure 26. Install the discharge chute control rod
(H) through the plastic pivot bearing (D) on the auger
housing. Place a cotter pin into the lowest rod hole on
the inside of the housing, and spread the cotter pin
fully around the rod.
4. Pull the rod back so the cotter pin is resting against
the bearing (D), then insert a second cotter pin
through the rod, just above the bearing. Spread the
cotter pin fully around the rod.
5. Tighten the locknut and capscrew (J) securing the
control rod guide. Do not overtighten. This nut and
capscrew are used to set the control rod rotation
resistance.
Assemble the Discharge Chute and Control
Cable
1. See Figure 26. Install the discharge chute (A) so the
clip (G) on the housing is positioned in the notch (I).
Lubricate the discharge chute so it turns freely.
2. See Figure 27. With the discharge chute facing slight-
ly left, wind the cable around the control rod spool.
Wind it three turns on the rear part of the spool so
that the cable leaves the spool on the lower edge as
shown. Wind two turns on the front part of the spool
so the cable leaves the spool on the upper edge as
shown.
3. See Figure 27. Place the looped end of the cable
over the stud on the discharge chute. Place the small
flat washer (E) provided on the stud. Pull the other
end of the cable around the stud using locking pliers.
While holding the cable tight, install the cup washer
(B) (cup facing inward), lockwasher (C) and nut (D).
Tighten the nut and tape the cable end to the taut
section of the cable.
