bolts finger tight. At this point the shift lever and
shift lever spring are not against each other. As you
tighten the bolts and nuts with two wrenches, these
will pull together. See Figure 7.
• Tighten all hardware assembled to this point. Make
sure that clutch grips are moving freely.
Attaching Control Cables
(Use Hardware E.)
• Thread hex nuts (J) onto the “Z” fittings (R). Insert
“Z” fitting into hole in clutch grips. See Figure 8.
• 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 in the same manner.
• Both cables should have minimal slack, but not
tight. Tighten or loosen hex nuts on the “Z” fitting to
adjust.
Figure 8
IMPORTANT: If the right hand lock-out cable is not
adjusted correctly, wheels will tend to turn. If the left
hand lock-out cable is not adjusted correctly, the
augers will keep on rotating.
IMPORTANT: Please note that the drive clutch cable on
units with 16” wheels is routed under the axle. In other
units, the cable is routed over the axle.
WARNING: Do not over-tighten the clutch
cables. Tension on either cable in the
disengaged (up) position may override the
safety features of the machine.
Attaching Chute Assembly
(Use Hardware Group F.)
• 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. See Figure 9.
Figure 9
• Insert hex bolt (K) up through chute flange keeper
and chute assembly as shown in Figure 9. Secure
with hex lock nut (M). After assembling all three
chute flange keepers, tighten all nuts and bolts
securely. Do not over-tighten.
NOTE: Lock nuts cannot be threaded onto a bolt by
hand. Tighten with two 7/16” or adjustable wrenches.
Attaching Chute Directional Control
(Use Hardware Group G.)
• Loosen the two hex nuts which secure the lower
chute directional control support bracket (see
Figure 10) to the snow thrower housing.
Figure 10
• Place one flat washer (T) over the end of the chute
directional control, then insert the end of the chute
directional control into the hole in the plastic
bushing on the chute bracket. See Figure 11. Place
second flat washer (T) on chute directional control,
and secure with hairpin clip (S).
