Adjusting the Lift Springs

The lift springs can be adjusted to control the amount of
power it takes to lift the snowthrower and the downward
force the snowthrower has while traveling over the ground.
If you change the downward snowthrower force, it will
directly affect the power needed to lift the snowthrower.
1. To increase the downward force, which will make it
harder to lift the snowthrower, loosen the 2 eyebolts and
nuts attached to the lift springs (Fig. 27).
2. To make it easier to lift the snowthrower, which will
decrease the downward force, tighten the 2 eyebolts and
nuts attached to the lift springs (Fig. 27).
