When theaugercontrolis releasedand in the disengaged"up"posi-
tion,thecable shouldhavevery little slack, but shouldNOTbe tight.
1. In a well-ventilatedarea,start the snowthrowerengineas
instructedin the O_erationsection.Makesure thethrottle is setin

2. Whilestandinginthe operator'sposition(behindthe snow
thrower),engagethe augercontrolandallowthe augerto remain
engagedfor approximatelytensecondsbeforereleasingthe
augercontrol.Repeatthis severaltimes.
3. With theenginerunninginthe fastposition '_ and the
augercontrolinthe disengaged"up"position,walk to the front
of the machine.Confirmthattheauger has completelystopped
rotatingandshowsno signsof motion.
4. If the augershowsany signsof rotating,immediatelyreturnto the
operator'spositionand shut off the engine.Waitforall moving

Testing Drive Control & Shift Lever
Referto Figure9 for locationofcontrols.
1. Movethe shift leverintosixth (6)position.
2. With thewheeldrivecontrolreleased,pushthe snowthrower
forward,then pull it back.The machineshouldmovefreely.
3. Engagethe drivecontroland attemptto movethe machineboth
forwardandback,resistanceshouldbefelt.
4. Movethe shift leverintothe fast reverse(R2) positionandrepeat
the previoustwo steps.
If youexperiencedresistancerollingthe unit,eitherwhenrepositioning
the shift leverfrom6 to R2 orwhenattemptingto movethe machine
withthe drivecontrolreleased,adjustthedrive controlimmediately.

Adjusting Drive and Auger Controls
1. Frombeneaththe handle,pull downwardon theappropriatecable
andunhookthe springfoundon the endof the cablefromits

3. If adjustingthe drivecable,threadthe lock nut outward(downthe
coupler)to lengthenthe cableand allowthe unit to movefreely
whenthe controlis released.Threadthe lock nutinward(up the
coupler)to shortenthe cableto reduceslippageandpreventthe
