Wheel Drive Control
If you are uncertain about correct adjustment, proceed 
as follows:
•
Drain the gasoline out of your snow thrower’s 
engine, and place a piece of plastic film under the 
gas cap to avoid spillage.
•
Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on 
the auger housing.
•
Remove the frame cover underneath the snow 
thrower by removing six self-tapping screws.
•
Locate the opening between the axle support 
bracket and the front frame support (See Figure 
12). Looking through the opening, perform the 
following checks and adjust as necessary:
a. With the wheel drive control released, check if
there is clearance between friction wheel and 
drive plate in all positions of the shift lever. See 
Figure 12.
b. With the wheel drive lever engaged, check if the
friction wheel solidly contacts the drive plate. 
See Figure 12. 
c. If there is no friction wheel clearance, or the
friction wheel does not solidly contact the drive 
plate, re-adjust the lock nut on the lower end of 
the wheel drive cable following the instructions 
on page 7.
•
Reassemble the frame cover.
•
If you placed plastic film under the gas cap earlier, 
remove it now.

Auger Control
Refer to instructions for adjusting the auger control on 
page 7. Make certain to check for correct adjustment 
as instructed before operating the snow thrower.
Chute Assembly
The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by 
adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to 
page 9 for instructions.
The remote chute control cables have been pre-
adjusted at the factory. Move the remote chute lever on 
the control panel back and forward to adjust angle of 
the chute assembly.
Skid Shoe
The space between the shave plate and the ground can 
be adjusted by raising or lowering the skid shoes. 
For close snow removal on a smooth surface such as a 
concrete or asphalt driveway, place the skid shoes in 
the low position.
Adjust the skid shoes to the middle or high position 
when the area to be cleared is uneven. 
When operating on gravel or stone driveways, always 
put skid shoes in the high position.
Adjust skid shoes as follows (Refer to Figure 13):
•
Loosen, but do not remove, the three hex lock nuts 
which fasten the skid shoe to the auger housing.
•
Raise or lower the skid shoe as needed to place the 
shave plate in the desired position above the 
ground.
•
Retighten the hex lock nuts loosened earlier.
•
As close as possible, adjust the skid shoe on the 
other side into the same position on the auger 
housing .

NOTE: Make certain the bottom surface of skid shoe is
flat against the ground to avoid uneven wear
