Attaching the clutch cables (hardware d)
• Thread hex nuts onto the “Z” fittings (see insert,).
Insert “Z” fitting into hole in clutch grips. See Figure
6.
Figure 6
• 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.
• 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)
• Place chute assembly (F) 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.
• Insert hex bolt up through chute flange keeper and
chute assembly as shown in Figure 7. Secure with
hex lock nut. 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 two adjustable wrenches. This type
of nut is used where vibration occurs.

Attaching the chute directional control
(hardware f)
• Loosen the two hex nuts which secure the chute
directional control bracket (see Figure 8) to the
snow thrower housing.
Figure 8
• Place one flat washer over the end of the chute
directional control, then insert the end of the control
into the hole in the plastic bushing in the chute
directional control bracket. See Figure 9. Place
second flat washer on chute directional control, and
secure with hairpin clip.
