• Wind the headlight wire around the right handle
until excess slack is removed.
• Plug the wire from the headlight into the wire lead
coming from the right side of the engine, beneath
the fuel tank.
Final Adjustments
Auger Control Adjustment
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
• Push forward on the auger control until the small
rubber bumper contacts the upper handle. There
should be slack in the cable. See Figure 5.
• Release the auger control. The cable should be
straight. Make certain you can depress the auger
control against the left handle completely.
If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the jam nut and thread the cable in (for less
slack) or out (for more slack) as necessary. See
Figure 5.
• Recheck the adjustment before retightening the
jam nut against the cable.
Figure 5
Skid Shoe Adjustment
The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted by repositioning the skid shoes found on
either side of the snow throwers auger housing. For
close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low
position. Use middle or high position when area to be
cleared is uneven. See Figure 6.
IMPORTANT: It is NOT recommended that this snow
thrower be operated on a gravel surface, as loose
stones can be easily picked up and thrown by the
machine. If you must operate on a gravel surface,
ALWAYS adjust the skid shoes into the HIGH position
to allow the shave plate maximum clearance.
Figure 6
Adjust skid shoes as follows:
• Loosen, but do NOT remove, the three hex nuts
which fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.
• Raise or lower the skid shoe to desired position.
NOTE: Make certain the entire base of both skid shoes
are against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the
skid shoes. When one side does wear out, the skid
shoes are reversible.
• Retighten the hex nuts loosened earlier.
• Repeat this adjustment on the skid shoe found on
the opposite side of the snow thrower.
Tire Pressure
The tires are overinflated for shipping purposes.
• Check tire pressure, by referring to tire sidewalls for
recommended tire pressure.
NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the
unit may pull to one side or the other.
WARNING: Maximum tire pressure under
any circumstance is 30 psi. Equal tire
pressure should be maintained at all
times. Excessive pressure (over 30 psi)
when seating beads may cause tire/rim
assembly to burst with force sufficient to
cause serious injury.
Traction Control and Shift Lever Adjustment
To check the adjustment of the traction control and shift
lever, proceed as follows:
• Move the shift lever into sixth (6) position.
a. With the traction control (refer to Figure 7)
released, gently push the snow thrower
forward, then pull it back. Disregarding the
overall weight of the snow thrower, the
machine should otherwise move freely.
