Refer to the information found under the heading Final
Adjustments in Section 3 of this manual to adjust the
auger control.

Shift Rod Adjustment

To adjust the shift rod, proceed as follows.

Remove the hairpin clip and slide the clutch rod
connector up, to separate the upper shift rod from
the lower shift rod. See Figure 10.

Place the shift lever into the sixth (6) position.

Rotate the shift arm clockwise (from the operator’s
position) as far as it will go.

Thread the upper shift rod downward until the
elbow on its lower end aligns with the hole found in
the lower shift rod.

Reconnect the upper shift rod to the lower shift rod
by reinserting the hairpin clip removed earlier and
sliding clutch rod connector back down into place.

IMPORTANT:

Make certain to check for correct

adjustment of the shift rod as instructed under the
heading Final Adjustments in Section 3 of this manual,
before operating the snow thrower.
