Adjustments
Shift Cable
If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be
achieved, adjust the shift cable as follows:
1. Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed position.
2. Loosen the hex nut (a) on the shift cable index bracket.
See Figure 6-4.

3. Pivot the bracket downward to take up slack in the cable.
4. Retighten the hex nut (a).
Drive Control Lever
When the drive control lever 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 lever as follows:
1. With the drive control lever released, push the snow
thrower gently forward. The unit should roll freely.
2. Engage the drive control lever and gently attempt to push
the snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn. The
unit should not roll freely.
3. With the drive control lever released, move the shift
lever back 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:
1. Shut off the engine as instructed in the separate engine
manual.
2. Loosen the lower hex screw (a) on the drive cable bracket.
See Figure 6-5.

3. Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or
downward to increase cable tension).
4. Retighten the upper hex screw.
5. Check the adjustment of the drive control lever as
described above to verify proper adjustment has been
achieved.
