ATTACHING THE CLUTCH CABLES 
(Hardware D) 

1.

Thread hex nuts (J) onto the “Z” fittings (R) (see
inset,). Insert “Z” fitting into hole in clutch grips.
See Figure 6.

Figure 6  

2.

Route the left cable between engine and speed
selector plate and then between handle panel
and clutch lever pivot rod before threading onto
the left “Z” fitting. Assemble the right cable
using the same route.

3.

Correct adjustment on cables is minimal slack
but not tight. Tighten hex nuts when adjustment
is correct.

NOTE: 

If the right hand lockout cable is not

adjusted correctly, the wheels will tend to turn. If the
left hand lockout cable is not adjusted correctly, the
augers will not stop rotating.

WARNING: 

There must not be any

tension on either clutch cable with the
drive or auger clutch grip in the
disengaged (up) position. These
clutches are a safety feature, and their
function can be overridden if there is
tension on either cable with the
clutches disengaged.

ATTACHING THE CHUTE ASSEMBLY 
(Hardware E)

1.

Place chute assembly over chute opening, with
the opening in the chute assembly facing the
front of the unit. Place chute flange keepers
beneath lip of chute assembly, with the flat side
of chute flange keeper facing downward.

2.

Insert hex bolt (K) up through chute flange
keeper and chute assembly as shown in Figure
7. Secure with hex lock nut (M). After
assembling all three chute flange keepers,
tighten all nuts and bolts securely. Do not
overtighten.

Note

: Lock nuts cannot be threaded onto a bolt by

hand. Tighten with 2 7/16” wrenches. This type of
nut is used where vibration occurs.
