Setting Up
Your Snow
Thrower
IMPORTANT: Under any
circumstance do not
exceed manufacturer’s
recommended psi. Equal
tire pressure should be
maintained at all times.
Excessive pressure when
seating beads may cause
tire/rim assembly to burst
with force sufficient to
cause serious injury.
Refer to sidewall of tire for
recommended pressure.
WARNING
Do not over-tighten the
cable. Over-tightening may
prevent the auger from
disengaging and compro-
mise the safety of the snow
thrower.
Figure 3-10
Adjusting Drive and Auger Controls
1. From beneath the handle, pull downward on the
appropriate cable and unhook the spring found on the
end of the cable from its respective actuator bracket.
Refer to Figures 3-9 and 3-10.
2. Slide the spring up the cable to expose the cable
coupler threads and lock nut. Refer to Figure 3-11.
Adjust the lock nut as follows:
3. If adjusting the drive cable, thread the lock nut
outward (down the coupler) to lengthen the cable
and allow the unit to move freely when the control is
released. Thread the lock nut inward (up the coupler)
to shorten the cable to reduce slippage and prevent
the machine from being easily moved with the drive
control engaged.
4. If adjusting the auger cable, thread the lock nut down
to lengthen the cable as necessary to stop the auger
from turning when the control is released.
WARNING: Do not over-tighten the
cable. Over-tightening may prevent the
auger from disengaging and compro-
mise the safety of the snow thrower.
5. Reattach the spring to the actuator bracket.
6. Repeat the wheel drive and auger control tests to
verify proper adjustment. Repeat previous steps if
necessary to attain proper adjustment of each cable.
Tire Pressure (Pneumatic Tires)
The tires are over-inflated for shipping purposes. Check
the tire pressure before operating the snow thrower. Refer
to the tire side wall for tire manufacturer’s recommended
psi and deflate (or inflate) the tires as necessary.
NOTE
: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the
unit may pull to one side or the other and the shave plate
will not sit level on the ground.
IMPORTANT
: Under any circumstance do not exceed
manufacturer’s recommended psi. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained at all times. Excessive pressure
when seating beads may cause tire/rim assembly to
burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury. Refer to
sidewall of tire for recommended pressure.
