Adjusting the Steering Feature Cables
DANGER
The snowthrower contains a rotating auger and impeller that
throws snow. Fingers or feet can quickly become caught
in the rotating auger or impeller and result in traumatic
amputation or severe laceration.
• STOP the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove the ignition key or push/pull key before
maintenance or repairs.
The steering control cable can stretch slightly after repeated
usage during the first season of operation. If the cable has
stretched, it may prevent the drive gears from disengagement
when the control is activated.
1. STOP the engine and remove the key.
2. Use one wrench to hold stationary the adjustment nut
(B, Figure 28). Use another wrench to loosen the jam nut
(A).
3. Release the steering control lever. Turn the adjustment
nut (B) clockwise or counterclockwise until tension is
in the cable. Do not tighten the cable too much. It will
actuate the steering feature when the steering control is
disengaged.
4. After the adjustment, hold the adjustment nut (B) and
tighten the jam nut (A).
