DRIVE WHEELS
(Models 860 and 960)
Snow throwers model 860 and 960 are equipped
with a differential which makes the unit easy to
maneuver, it may be adjusted for two different
methods of operation. The adjustment is made by
placing the kiick pins in one of two different holes
on each side of the unit. See figure 25.
1. Differential Action —Place kiick pin in the out
side hole in the axle. This position allows easy
maneuvering when blowing light to medium
snow.
2.
Straight Axle Action—Place kiick pin in the
hole in the hub next to the rim on the right
wheel. This position should be used when
blowing heavy snow or when greater traction
is needed (icy surfaces, etc.). The unit will be
more difficult to maneuver.
