NOTE:
If the connector is not properly assembled, the
shift rod will pivot and you will not be able to change
speeds or change directions.
•
If not already attached, slip the cables that run from
the handle panel to the chute into the cable guide
located on top of the engine. See Figure 4.
Figure 4
•
Unwrap the headlight wire, which is attached to the
headlight beneath the handle panel.
•
Wind the headlight wire around the right handle
until excess slack is removed.
•
Plug the wire from the right side of the engine,
beneath the fuel tank.
Final Adjustments
Auger Control Adjustment
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
•
Push forward on the auger control (Refer to Figure
7 ) until the small rubber bumper contacts the upper
handle. There should be slack in the cable. See
Figure 5 .
•
Release the auger control. The cable should be
straight. Make certain you can depress the auger
control against the left handle completely without
using excess force.
If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:
•
Loosen the jam nut and thread the cable in (for less
slack) or out (for more slack) as necessary. See
Figure 5 .
•
Recheck the adjustment before retightening the
jam nut against the cable.
Traction Control and Shift Lever Adjustment
NOTE:
It is easier to maneuver a non-running snow
thrower with both track steering controls held in
simultaneously.
To check the adjustment of the traction control and shift
lever, proceed as follows:
•
Move the shift lever into the sixth (6) position.
a. With the traction control (see Figure 7 )
released, push the snow thrower forward,
then pull it back. Disregarding the overall
weight of the snow thrower, the machine
should otherwise move freely.
b. Engage the traction control, and attempt to
move the machine both forward and
rearward. You should experience resistance
as the wheels should not be turning.
•
Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2)
position and repeat the previous steps (a & b).
If you experienced resistance either when repositioning
the shift lever (see Figure 7 ) from position 6 to R2 or
when attempting to move the machine forward or
rearward with the traction control released, your snow
thrower’s traction control is in need of adjustment and
you should NOT operate the snow thrower before
completing the adjustment as follows:
