Check Snowthrower Controls

1. Check the skid shoes to make sure they are set at the
desired height. Adjust if necessary.
2. Check the traction drive control (B, Figure 2).
Snowthrower motion should stop when the control is
released.
3. Check the auger control (C). Auger movement should
stop when the control is released.
4. Check the manual chute direction control (D) for prop-
er operation. The discharge chute should rotate freely
in both directions.
5. Check the remote deflector control (E) for proper
operation. The deflector should pivot freely up and
down when the chute deflector control (E) is pushed
to the left and either moved forward or backward.
6. Check the speed selector (A) for smooth operation.
The control must move freely into each speed posi-
tion gate and remain in position when released.
If controls do not function properly, perform the
appropriate adjustment as shown in the
Adjustment Section.
7. The auger is secured to the shaft by shear pins,
which will break if the auger strikes an object. Extra
shear pins are provided. Keep these pins in the com-
partment on the belt cover. Lubricate the auger shaft.
