3.
Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or
downward to increase cable tension).
4.
Retighten the upper hex screw.
5.
Check the adjustment of the drive control as described
earlier (steps 1-3) to verify proper adjustment has been
achieved.
Chute Assembly (Overhead Chute Control)
If the chute fails to remain stationary during operation, the
pre-load of the chute can be adjusted by tightening the hex nut
found on the front of the chute control assembly.
To increase the preload, tighten the hex nut clockwise in ¼ turn
intervals. See Figure 6-10.
Figure 6-10
If the chute directional control is difficult to crank, decrease the
preload by loosening the hex nut counterclockwise in ¼ turn
intervals.
Continuous Tracks
If the snow thrower fails to propel itself because the track wheel
is "jumping" drive lugs, the continuous tracks are in need of
adjustment. See an authorized Service Dealer to have the tracks
properly adjusted. See Figure 6-11.

If storing the snow thrower in an unventilated area,
rustproof the machine using a light oil or silicone to coat

IMPORTANT: When storing unit or when it is not being serviced,
it is to remain in the operating position with both track and auger
