SECTION 6: MAKING ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: NEVER attempt to make any

adjustments while the engine is running,

except where specified in the operator’s

manual.

Auger Control Adjustment

Refer to the information found under Final Adjust-

ments in the Assembly Section to adjust the auger

control.

Traction Control Adjustment

Refer to the information found under Final Adjustment

in the Assembly Section to adjust the traction control. If

you are uncertain that you have reached the correct

adjustment, proceed as follows:

WARNING: Drain the gasoline out of the

snow thrower’s tank, or place a piece of

plastic film under the gas cap to avoid

spillage BEFORE making the adjustment.

• Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on

the auger housing.

• Remove the frame cover underneath the snow

thrower by removing the six self-tapping screws.

• With the traction control released, there must be

clearance between the friction wheel and the drive

plate in all positions of the shift lever.

• With the traction control engaged, the friction wheel

must contact the drive plate. See Figure 14.

Figure 14

If adjustment is necessary:

• Loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable.

Adjust the cable as necessary. Refer to Figure 8.

• Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when

correct adjustment is reached.

• Reassemble the frame cover.

Chute Directional Control And Support

Bracket Adjustment

If the spiral at the base of the chute directional control is

not fully engaging with the notches in the lower chute

assembly, the support bracket can be adjusted inward

or outward as follows:

• Loosen, but do NOT remove the two hex nuts

which secure the chute directional control support

bracket to the snow thrower housing.

See Figure 15.

Figure 15

• Adjust the support bracket inward or outward so

that the spiral is fully engaged in the notches on the

chute before retightening the hex nuts.

Shift Rod Adjustment

To adjust the shift rod, proceed as follows:

• Remove the hairpin clip and slide the shift rod

connector up, to separate the upper shift rod from

the lower shift rod. See Figure 16.
