Shift Cable
If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot
be achieved, refer to the figure to the left and adjust the
shift cable as follows:
1. Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed
position.
2. Loosen the hex nut on the shift cable index bracket.
See Figure 5-1.
3. Pivot the bracket downward to take up slack in the
cable.
4. Retighten the hex nut.
5. Check for correct adjustment before operating the
snow thrower.
Chute Control Rod
To adjust the chute control rod, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the cotter pin from the hole closest to the
chute assembly on the chute control assembly.
2. Pull out the chute control rod until the hole in it lines
up with the second hole in the chute control assembly.
See Figure 5-2.
3. Reinsert the cotter pin through this hole and the chute
control rod. See Figure 5-2.
Drive Control & Shift Lever
When the drive control is released and in the disengaged
“up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It
should NOT be tight.
Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:
1. With the drive control released, push the snow thrower
gently forward. The unit should roll freely.
2. Engage the drive control 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 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.
4. If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in
need of adjustment. Proceed as follows:
5. Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket.
See Figure 5-3.
6. Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or
downward to increase cable tension).
7. Retighten the lower hex nut.
8. Repeat steps 1 thru 4 to re-check the adjustment of
the drive control.
WARNING: Run the engine com-
pletely dry of gasoline before tipping
snowthrower.
