Check the scraper adjustment. The scraper should be
1/8 inch (3 millimeters) above and parallel to a level
surface.
Check the traction drive belt for the proper tension after the
first operating hour, after every 5 operating hours
thereafter, and when the speed selector shifts properly but
the snowthrower does not drive in the forward or reverse
speeds. Adjust the belt when necessary.
For Concrete and Asphalt Surfaces:
If the snowthrower does not clear the snow close enough to
the pavement, adjust the skids to lower the scraper; if the
pavement surfaces are cracked, rough, or uneven, adjust the
skids to raise the scraper.
