Chute Bracket Adjustment
If the spiral at the bottom of the chute directional control is not
fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute bracket can be
adjusted. To do so:
Loosen the two nuts which secure the chute bracket and
1.
reposition it slightly. See Figure 6-5.
Retighten the nuts.
2.
Figure 6-5
Wheels
At least once a season, remove wheels. Clean and coat the axles
with a multipurpose automotive grease before reinstalling
wheels.
Auger Shaft
At least once a season, remove the shear pins on auger shaft.
Spray lubricant inside shaft, around the spacers. Also lubricate
the flange bearings found at either end of the shaft. See Figure
6-3.
Augers
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with shear pins
•
and cotter pins. If the auger should strike a foreign object
or ice jam, the snowthrower is designed so that the pins
may shear. See Figure 6-3.
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have
•
sheared. Replacement shear pins have been provided
with the snowthrower. When replacing pins, spray an oil
lubricant into shaft before inserting new pins.
Adjustments
Shift Cable
If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be
achieved, refer to the Figure 6-4 and adjust the shift cable as
follows:
Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed position.
1.
Loosen the hex nut on the shift cable index bracket. See
2.
Fig. 6-4.
Pivot the bracket downward to take up slack in the cable.
3.
Retighten the hex nut.
4.
If further adjustment is necessary move the cable to one of
5.
the alternate holes.
