b. Engage the traction control and attempt to
move them machine both forward and
rearward. You should experience resistance
as the wheels should not be turning.
• Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2)
position and repeat the previous steps (a & b).
If you experienced resistance either when repositioning
the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when attempting to move
the machine forward or rearward with the traction
control released, your snow thrower’s traction control is
in need of adjustment and you should NOT operate the
machine before completing the adjustment as follows:
• Loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable
and UNTHREAD the cable one full turn.
• Recheck the adjustment.
• Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when
correct adjustment is reached.
If the machine can be moved freely both forward and
rearward when the traction control fully depressed,
proceed as follows:
• Loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and
THREAD the cable in one full turn.
• Recheck the adjustment and repeat adjustment as
necessary.
• Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when
correct adjustment is reached.
NOTE: If you are uncertain that you have reached the
correct adjustment, refer to Traction Control Adjust-
ment in Making Adjustments Section.
