WARNING
If any adjustments are made to the
engine while the engine is running
(e.g. carburetor), keep clear of all
moving parts. Be careful of heated
surfaces and muffler.
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude and load.
Refer to the separate engine manual packed with
your unit for carburetor adjustment information.
DRIVE WHEELS (Model 800)
The wheels on the model 800 snow thrower may
be adjusted for three different methods of opera­
tion. The adjustment is made by placing the klick
pins in one of two different holes on each side of
the unit. See figure 25.
1. Free Wheeling Operation—Place both klick
pins in the outside hole in the axle. This posi­
tion allows easier movement when the engine
is not running.
2. Both Wheels Driving—Place both klick pins in
the hole in the hub next to the rim. This posi­
tion is good for heavy snow as there is power
drive in both wheels.
3. One Wheel Driving —Place klick pin in the out­
side axle hole on one side and in the hole in
the hub next to the rim on-the other. This posi­
tion gives power drive to one wheel only, mak­
ing the unit easier to maneuver.
