2. Slide the spring up the cable to expose the cable
fitting threads and lock nut. Refer to Figure 3-10.
Adjust the lock nut as follows:
3. If adjusting the drive cable, thread the lock nut
outward (down the fitting) to lengthen the cable and
allow the unit to move freely when the control is
released. Thread the lock nut inward (up the fitting)
to shorten the cable to reduce slippage and prevent
the machine from being easily moved with the drive
control engaged.
4. If adjusting the auger cable, thread the lock nut down
to lengthen the cable as necessary to stop the auger
from turning when the control is released.
WARNING: Do not over-tighten the cable. Over-tight-
ening may prevent the auger from disengaging and
compromise the safety of the snow thrower.
5. Reattach the spring to the actuator bracket.
6. Repeat the wheel drive and auger
control tests to verify proper adjustment.
Repeat previous steps if necessary to
attain proper adjustment of each cable.
Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check
the tire pressure before operating the snow thrower. Refer
to the tire side wall for tire manufacturer's recommended
psi and deflate (or inflate) the tires as necessary.
NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the
unit may pull to one side or the other and the shave plate
will not sit level on the ground.
IMPORTANT: Under any circumstance do not exceed
manufacturer's recommended psi. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained at all times. Excessive pressure
when seating beads may cause tire/rim assembly to
burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury. Refer to
sidewall of tire for recommended pressure.
