Install Chute Control Gear
1.
Remove (2) screws from chute control rod
bracket on left side of frame, remove bracket,
insert chute control rod through hole in bracket
and reinstall bracket with two screws (Fig. 14).
2.
Insert carriage screw into worm gear bracket
mounting hole (Fig. 15).
3.
Position worm gear into bracket, align slotted
holes in worm gear and bracket and insert chute
gear rod through slotted holes in bracket and
gear (Fig. 15).
4.
Loosely mount worm gear and bracket to
mounting flange with carriage screw, flat washer
and lock nut (Fig. 15).
5.
Slide worm gear into teeth of chute gear and
tighten lock nut.
6.
Check operation of discharge chute control
(Fig. 20). Move worm gear slightly outward if
binding is evident.
Check Tire Pressure
IMPORTANT: Check pressure of tires
because they are over-inflated at the factory
for shipping. Therefore, before the
snowthrower is operated, reduce pressure in
both tires to 7-15 psi equally.
Install Skids
1.
Check tire pressure; refer to Check Tire Pressure,
page 10.
2.
Move the snowthrower onto a flat surface and
check if scraper (Fig. 16) is parallel to the
ground. If not, adjust scraper; refer to Adjusting
Scraper, page 15.
3.
Remove (2) flange bolts and flat washers
securing ends of scraper to side plates (Fig. 17).
Reinstall bolts through rear slots in skids.
10
Assemble both skids so that washers are between
skids and sideplates (Fig. 17). Do not tighten
bolts.
4.
Install (2) flange bolts through front slots in
skids and through sideplates. Install flat washers
and lock nuts on inside of sideplates. Do not
tighten bolts.
Note:
The following steps adjust the skids for
paved surfaces. For gravel or crushed
rock surfaces, refer to Adjusting Skids,
page 15.
5.
Support the scraper to be 1/8 inch above a level
surface if the snowthrower is to be used on
smooth pavement.
Note:
The scraper should be higher than 1/8
inch above the pavement if the
pavement surfaces are cracked, rough
or uneven.
6.
Move the skids down to sit flat on the ground
and tighten the (4) flange bolts securing both
skids to the auger side plates.
Check Auger Gear Box Oil
1.
Move snowthrower to a level surface.
2.
Clean area around pipe plug so dirt is removed.
3.
Remove pipe plug from gear box (Fig. 16).
4.
Check oil level in gear box. Oil must be at point
of overflowing in filler opening.
5.
If level of oil is low, add GL–5 or GL–6 SAE
85–95 EP transmission oil to the gear box until
point of overflow.
Note:
Do not use synthetic gear oil.
6.
Reinstall pipe plug in gear box.
