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 6-6.
Figure 6-6
If the chute directional control is difficult to crank, decrease the
preload by loosening the hex nut counterclockwise in ¼ turn
intervals.
Continuous Tracks
The snow thrower is equipped with an auto-tensioner on both
the left and right sides. The system is designed to maintain
constant tension on both tracks. However, if the snow thrower
fails to propel itself because the track wheel is "jumping" drive
lugs, the tracks are too loose and are in need of adjustment.
See an authorized Service Dealer to have the tracks properly
adjusted. See Figure 6-7.
