Traction Drive Clutch and Shift Lever Adjustment
To check the adjustment of the traction drive clutch
and shift lever, tip the snow thrower forward so that it
rests on the auger housing. First move the shift lever
all the way forward to sixth (6) position. With the trac-
tion drive
lever released,
spin the snow thrower
wheels
by hand.
They should
turn freely.
Then
engage
the traction
drive clutch
grip. The wheels
should stop turning.
Now release the traction
drive clutch grip, and spin
the wheels again. Move the shift lever back to the fast
reverse
position,
then all the way forward
again.
There should be no resistance in the shift lever, and
the wheels should keep turning.
If you have resistance when moving the shift lever or
the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the lock
nut on the traction drive cable and unthread the cable
one turn. If the wheels do not stop when you engage
the traction drive clutch grip, loosen the lock nut on
the traction drive cable and thread the cable in one
turn. Recheck the adjustment and repeat adjustment
as necessary. Tighten the lock nut to secure the cable
when correct adjustment is reached.
NOTE: If you are uncertain that you have reached the
correct adjustment,
refer to the Adjustment section on
page 10.
ADJUSTING THE SKID SHOES
The space between the shave plate and the ground
can be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid
shoes in the low position. Use middle or high position
when area to be cleared is uneven. See figure 9.
Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts and
carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired posi-
tion. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid
shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on
the skid shoes. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
It is not recommended
that you operate
this snow
thrower
on gravel
as loose gravel
can be easily
picked up and thrown by the auger causing an injury
or damage to the snow thrower.
