Adjust runners by inserting a spacer of desired
thickness under center of scraper blade, loosen

between scraper blade and uneven or gravel
surfaces. Retighten hardware.

the adjuster body 2 turns.

3. Check spring length.
a. Measure the length of the clutch cable spring.
b. Engage and hold the attachment clutch lever.

equally.
c. Measure the length of the spring again. The
spring should be 3/16 – 3/8 in. (4.7 – 9.5 mm)
longer when the lever is engaged.
d. If spring does not stretch at least 3/16 in.
(4.7 mm), or the belt tension is insufficient to
throw snow properly, remove the attachment
belt idler (see Figure 15) and replace it in the
hole on the idler arm closer to the belt. Adjust
cable slack until spring stretch is 3/16 – 3/8 in.
(4.7– 9.5 mm). (Increased spring stretch will
increase belt tension).
