CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. Engine performance
should not be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet (2,134
meters). If your engine does not operate properly due to
suspected carburetor problems, take your snow thrower
to a qualified service center.
ENGINE SPEED
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above
the factory high speed setting can be dangerous and will
void the warranty. If you think the engine-governed high
speed needs adjusting, contact a qualified service center,
which has proper equipment and experience to make any
necessary ad just ments.
TO ADJUST CABLE TENSION (See Fig. 28)
Adjust cable tension by turning the adjuster turn buckle,
located on the right hand cable. Grasp the long section
tightly and turn the short section to lengthen the adjuster.
Adjust until cable is snug.

TO ADJUST TRACTION BELT AND AUGER BELT
TENSION
If the traction or auger belt is slipping because it is not tight
enough when engaged, the tension can be increased by
adjusting the spring location in the control rod. Unhook
the rod from the control lever and move the spring at the
bottom of the rod one or two holes closer to the top of the
rod. This effectively shortens the rod and increases the
belt tension. (See "INSTALL AUGER CONTROL ROD" in
the Assembly section of this manual.)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADJUSTING POWER STEERING
CABLES (See Figs. 29-34)
Power steering cables can be adjusted to improve perfor-
mance of steering system. The cable has an in-line adjuster
that is turned to shorten or lengthen the cable extension.
Location of adjuster is shown in Fig. 29.
ADJUSTER
1. Stand the snow thrower on the front of the auger
housing.
2. Remove wheels or tracks from axles. To remove tracks
it is necessary to remove the cross bar that connects
the two track frames together. Remove screws on
each end of the cross bar.
3. Remove the plastic power steering covers. Fig. 30.
STEERING
BELLCRANK
NOTE: The position of the steering bellcrank is critical in
the operation of the steering system. If it is positioned too
high, the steering system will automatically disengage itself
while driving, giving the operator the impression of wheel
slippage. If the bellcrank is positioned too low, it may be
very difficult to disengage the steering clutch while driving,
or it may also disengage itself. The correct setting of the
bellcrank will give optimum performance.
