BELT TENSION
Belt tension for the rotor drive is regulatedby the posi¬
tion of the set collar on the rotor clutch rod. Normally a
clearance of 1/2" between the set collar and the clutch
rod clip will properly tension this belt- Check thig adjust¬
ment when the rotor clutch is engaged-
Refer to Fig* 5.
Belt tension for transmission drive belt Is regulated by
the position of the wire clamp on the extension spring.
CHAIN TENSION
The tension on the rotor drive chain may be Increased by
loosening the two lock nuts "A" and turning the adjusting
nute " 'BM to the desired position- Be sure to retighten the
lock nuts "A" after adjusting tension.
Hefer to Fig. 7.
BELT STOPS
On the drive pulley side of the engine, belt stops are mount¬
ed as shown in Fig, 7, Engage the rotor clutch and trans¬
mission clutch and check clearance between belts and belt
stops. The belt stops will be properly adjusted when 1/16"
clearance is visible between the stops and the belts* To
adjust, loosen the hex capscrews and reposition the stops
to proper clearance- Retighten hex capscrews to hold stops
in proper postlon. Refer to Fig. 7.
LUBRICATION
The 23" Sno-Away is equipped with 4 grease fittings that
require occasional lubrication with a general purpose
automotive grease-
The location of these fittings is shown
in Figures 1, 5, £ 7, The 26
s'
Sno-Away has an additional
fitting on the 2-speed axle cover.
Refer to page 6 for
oil draining procedure!
The bearings on the rotor shaft are a sealed type and do
not require further lubrication- An occasional application
of light motor oil to the ends of the rotor shaft will aid in
prolonging the life of the bearing seals-
OPERATION
Before attempting to start the engine or to operate the
Sno-Away,
refer to the engine manufacturers owners
manual for the proper fuel, oil, and procedure for starting
the engine.
The operation of the rotor Is controlled by the rotor
dutch.
To engage the rotor clutch, raise the foot pedal
shown in Fig. 7.
To disengage the clutch, depress the'
foot pedal.
Bear in mind that the rotor will operate
independently oE the forward travel of the Sno-Away, as
long as the engine is running and the clutch is engaged.
Exercise caution at all times, and never attempt to remove
snow or ice from the rotor housing or discharge spout
unless the engine is stopped and rotor clutch Ee disengaged.
To stop the engine, move the throttle control lever all
the way to the shut-off position-
If the engine fails to shut-off after moving the throttle
control lever to the shut-off position, repostlon the "short¬
ing-wine" to make contact with the ignition shorting lever
located on engine Ed end of throttle cable.
Tbe direction of travel of the Sno-Away is controlled by
the position of tbe transmission shift lever. Refer to Eig. 4-
When shifting the transmission* always release Touch-O-
Matio control* With the clutch disengaged, push down on
the transmission shift lever and the transmission will
shift into forward position and Sno-Away will travel for¬
ward when the clutch is engaged,
Toroversethe Sno-Away,
disengage the clutch and pull up on shift lever and trans¬
mission will shift Into the reverse position.
Neutral po¬
sition of the shift lever is half way between forward and
reverse and the lever will be held in this position by a de¬
tent lever on the left side of the Sno-Away frame*
