CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. Engine performance
should not be affected at altitudes up to 2,134 meters. If
your engine does not operate properly due to suspected
carburetor problems, take your snow thrower to a service
center/department.
ENGINE SPEED
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above
the factory high speed setting can be dangerous and will
void the warranty. If you think the engine-governed high
speed needs adjusting, contact a service center/depart-
ment, which has the proper equipment and experience to
make any necessary ad just ments.
TO ADJUST TRACTION BELT AND AUGER BELT
TENSION
If the traction or auger belt is slipping because it is not tight
enough when engaged, the tension can be increased by
adjusting the spring location in the control rod. Unhook
the rod from the control lever and move the spring at the
bottom of the rod one or two holes closer to the top of the
rod. This effectively shortens the rod and increases the
belt tension. (See "INSTALL AUGER CONTROL ROD" in
the Assembly section of this manual.)
