certain to remove it.
Drive Wheels
The wheels 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
the right side of the unit. See Figure 19.
• One Wheel Driving- Place klick pin in the outside
axle hole on the right side. This position gives
power drive to the left wheel only, making the unit
easier to maneuver.
• Both Wheels Driving- Rotate wheel assembly to
align hole in hub with inner hole on axle shaft.
Insert klick pin in hole. Outer axle shaft hole
should be visible. This position is good for heavy
snow as there is power to both wheels.
Auger Shaft
At least once a season, remove shear bolts on auger
shaft. Oil or spray lubricant inside shaft. Also lubricate
the auger bearings at least once a season. See
Figure 21.
