CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
WARNING:
If any adjustments are
made to the engine while the engine is
running (e.g. carburetor), keep clear of
all moving parts. Be careful of heated
surfaces and muffler.
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude and load.
Refer to the separate engine manual packed with
your unit for carburetor adjustment information.
DRIVE WHEELS
The wheels may be adjusted for two different
methods of operation. The adjustment is made by
placing the klick pins in one of two different holes on
the right side of the unit. See Figure 26.
1.
One Wheel Driving—Place klick pin in the
outside axle hole on the right side. This position
gives power drive to the left wheel only, making
the unit easier to maneuver.
2.
Both Wheels Driving—Place klick pin in the
hole in the hub next to the rim on the right side.
This position is good for heavy snow as there is
power drive in both wheels.
