Testing Auger Drive Control
Priorto operatingyoursnow thrower,carefullyread and followall
instructionsbelow.Performall adjustmentsto verifyyoursnow
throweris operatingsafelyand properly.
When theaugercontrolis releasedand inthe disengaged"up"posi-
tion,thecable shouldhavevery little slack, but shouldNOTbe tight.
1. In a well-ventilatedarea,start the snowthrowerengineas
instructedin theO_erationsection.Makesure thethrottle is setin
the fastposition_. ,
2. Whilestandingin the operators position(behindthe snow
thrower),engagethe auger controland allowthe augerto remain
engagedfor approximatelytensecondsbeforereleasingthe
augercontrol.Repeatthis severaltimes.
3. With theengine runningin the fastposition_ andthe auger
controlin thedisengaged"up"position,walkto thefrontof the
machine.Confirmthat the augerhas completelystopped rotating
andshowsno signsof motion.
4. If the augershowsany signsof rotating,immediatelyreturnto the
operator'spositionandshutoff the engine.Wait forall moving
partsto stopbeforereadjustingthe augercontrolcable.
Testing Drive Control & Shift Lever
Referto Fig.9 for locationof controls.
1. Movethe shift leverintosixth (6) position.
2. With thewheeldrivecontrol released,pushthe snowthrower
forward,then pull it back.The machineshouldmovefreely.
3. Engagethe drivecontroland attemptto movethe machineboth
forwardandback,resistanceshouldbe felt.
4. Movethe shift leverintothe fast reverse(R2) positionand repeat
the previoustwosteps.
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 end of the cablefrom its
respectiveactuatorbracket.Referto Fig.s9 and10.
2. Slide thespringup the cableto exposethe cablecouplerthreads
andlock nut. Referto Fig. 11.
3. If adjustingthe drivecable,threadthe lock nut outward(downthe
coupler)to lengthenthe cableandallowthe unit to movefreely
whenthe controlis released.Threadthe locknutinward(up the
coupler)to shortenthe cableto reduceslippageand preventthe
machinefrombeingeasilymovedwith the drivecontrolengaged.
4. If adjustingthe augercable, threadthe lock nut downto lengthen
the cableas necessaryto stopthe augerfromturningwhen the
controlis released.
