NOTE: When engaging the auger, you may hear a "chirp" sound.
This is normal, it is the belt engaging the pulley. As the belt wears, this
sound will not be heard when engaging the auger.
5.
With the throttle control in the FAST (rabbit) position and the
auger control in the disengaged "up" position, walk to the front of
the machine.
6.
Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating and
shows NO signs of motion. If the auger shows ANY signs of
rotating, immediately return to the operator's position and shut off
the engine. Wait for ALL moving parts to stop before re-adjusting
the auger control.
Testing Drive Control & Speed Selector Lever
1.
With the engine turned off, move the speed selector lever into
sixth (6) position. Refer to Figure 13.
2.
With the wheel drive control released, push the snow thrower
forward, then pull it back. The machine should move freely.
3.
Engage the drive control and attempt to move the machine both
forward and back, resistance should be felt.
4.
Move the speed selector lever into the fast reverse (R2) position
and repeat the previous two steps.
5.
If you experienced resistance rolling the unit, either when
repositioning the speed selector lever from 6 to R2 or when
attempting to move the machine with the drive control released,
adjust the drive control immediately. See Adjusting Drive and
Auger Controls.
Adjusting Drive and Auger Controls
1.
From beneath the handle, pull downward on the appropriate cable
and unhook the spring found on the end of the cable from its
respective actuator bracket. Refer to Figures 14 and 15.
2.
Slide the spring up the cable to expose the cable coupler threads
and lock nut. Refer to Figure 15.

3.
Adjust the lock nut as follows: If adjusting the drive cable, thread
the lock nut outward (down the coupler) to lengthen the cable and
allow the unit to move freely when the control is released. Thread
the lock nut inward (up the coupler) to shorten the cable to reduce
slippage and prevent the machine from being easily moved with
the drive control engaged.
Do not over-tighten the cable. Over-tightening may prevent the auger
shaft from disengaging and compromise the safety of the snow thrower.
4.
If adjusting the auger cable, thread the lock nut outwards towards
end of thread to lengthen the cable as necessary to stop the
auger shaft from turning when the control is released.
5.
Securely hook each cable's spring into the appropriate hole of the
respective actuator bracket. Both cables hook into the rearward-
most hole in each bracket, as shown in Figure 14.
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.
