Adjustments

Drive Control

Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the Assembly
instructions to adjust the drive control. To check the
adjustment, proceed as follows:
1.

With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to
drain the gasoline or place plastic film under the
gas cap if the snow thrower has already been
operated), remove the frame cover underneath the
snow thrower by removing the self-tapping screws.

2.

With the drive control released, there must be 1/8”
clearance between the friction wheel and the drive
plate in all positions of the shift lever.

3.

With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel
must contact the drive plate (Figure 19).

4.

If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut on
the drive cable and thread the cable in or out as
necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable
when correct adjustment is reached. Reassemble
the frame cover.

NOTE: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be
certain to remove it.
