Drive Control

When the drive control is released and in the disengaged “up”

position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be

tight.

NOTE: If excessive slack is present in the drive cable or if the snow

thrower’s drive is disengaging intermittently during operation,

the cable may be in need of adjustment.

Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:

With the drive control released, push the snow thrower 1.

gently forward. The unit should roll freely.

Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push the 2.

snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn. The

unit should not roll freely.

With the drive control released, move the shift lever back 3.

and forth between the R2 position and the F6 position

several times. There should be no resistance in the shift

lever.

If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in need of

adjustment. Proceed as follows:

Loosen the lower hex screw on the drive cable bracket. See 1.

Fig. 6-6.

Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or 2.

downward to increase cable tension).

Retighten the upper hex screw.3.

Check the adjustment of the drive control as described 4.

above to verify proper adjustment has been achieved.

Chute Control Rod

To adjust the chute control rod, proceed as follows:

Remove the cotter pin from the hole closest to the chute 1.

assembly on the chute rotation assembly.

Pull out the chute control rod until the hole in it lines up 2.

with the second hole in the chute rotation assembly. See

Fig. 6-7.

Reinsert the cotter pin through this hole and the chute 3.

control rod. See Fig. 6-7.

Off-Season Storage

If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, follow

the storage instructions below.

Lubricate the machine as instructed earlier in this section.1.

Store in a clean, dry area.2.

If storing the snow thrower in an unventilated area, 3.

rustproof the machine using a light oil or silicone to coat

the snow thrower.

Clean the exterior of the engine and the snow thrower.4.

NOTE: Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for information on

storing your engine.
