ATTACHING CLUTCH CABLES
(Hardware D)
1. Thread the hex jam nuts all the way up the
threaded portion of the “Z” ends.
2. Make certain all cables are in the grooves of the
cable roller guides. The roller guides are located
in the lower rear of the unit. Lift the clutch grip in
the raised (up) position.
3. Thread the cable onto the threaded portion of the
“Z” end until there is no slack in the cable, but the
cable is NOT tight. Do not overtighten cable. See
Figure 13.
WARNING: If cable is tightened so
there is tension on the cable with the
clutch grip released, the safety features
of the snow thrower may be overridden.
Figure 13
4. When correct adjustment is reached, tighten the
hex nut against the cable to lock it in position.

1. Place chute assembly over chute opening, with
the opening in the chute assembly facing the
front of the unit.

assembly, flat side down.
3. Insert hex bolt up through chute flange keeper
and chute assembly as shown in Figure 14.
Secure with hex lock nut.
4. After assembling all three chute flange keepers,
tighten all nuts and bolts securely, then back off
1/4 turn to allow easier movement.
