Chute Control
Figure -1
Once a season or every 25 hours of operation, whichever
is earlier, check whether the four-way chute control™
cables have slackened. If the chute does not rotate
fully or its pitch cannot be moved up or down, the chute
control cables will have to be adjusted.
WARNING
Read, understand,
and follow all instruc-
tions and warnings
on the machine and
in this manual before

Drive Control & Shift Lever
When the drive control is released and in the disengaged
“up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It
should NOT be tight.
Never attempt to
make any adjust-
ments while the
engine is running,
except where speci-
fied in operator’s
manual.
Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:
1.
2.
With the drive control released, push the snow thrower
gently forward. The unit should roll freely.
Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push
the snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn.

If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in
need of adjustment. Proceed as follows:
Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket.
See Figure 5-3.
Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or
downward to increase cable tension).
Retighten the lower hex nut.
You can also check the adjustment as follows:
1.
With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to
drain gasoline or place plastic film under the gas cap if
the snow thrower has already been operated), remove
the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by
removing the self-tapping screws. See Figure 6-5 on
page 17.
