ASSEMBLY
Testingauger Drive Control
When the auger control is released and in the disengaged “up” posi-
tion, the cable should have very little slack, but should NOT be tight.
Refer to Fig. 9 for location of controls.
War ning
Prior to operating your snow thrower, carefully read and follow all
instructions below. Perform all adjustments to verify your snow
thrower is operating safely and properly.
1
.
In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine as
instructed in the Operation section.
2
.
While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow
thrower), engage the auger control and allow the auger to remain
engaged for approximately ten seconds before releasing the
auger control. Repeat this several times.
3
.
With the engine running and the auger control in the disengaged
“up” position, walk to the front of the machine. Confirm that the
auger has completely stopped rotating and shows no signs of
motion.
Figure 10
4.
If the auger shows any signs of rotating, immediately return to the
operator’s position and shut off the engine. Wait for all moving
parts to stop before readjusting the auger control cable.
TestingWheel Drive Control & Speed Selector
Shift Lever
Refer to Fig. 9 for location of controls.
1
.
Move the shift lever into sixth (6) position.

.
.
With the wheel drive control released, push the snow thrower
forward, then pull it back. The machine should move freely.
Engage the drive control and attempt to move the machine both
forward and back, resistance should be felt.
4.
Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2) position and repeat
the previous two steps.
If you experienced resistance rolling the unit, either when repositioning
the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when attempting to move the machine
with the drive control released, adjust the drive control immediately.
See Adjusting Drive and Auger Controls.

.
From beneath the handle, pull downward on the appropriate cable
and unhook the spring found on the end of the cable from its
respective actuator bracket. Refer to Fig. 9 and 10.
War ning
Do not over-tighten the cable. Over-tightening may prevent the auger
from disengaging and compromise the safety of the snow thrower.

.
.
Slide the spring up the cable to expose the cable coupler threads
and lock nut. Refer to Fig. 11.
4.
If adjusting the auger cable, thread the lock nut down the coupler
towards the end of the thread to lengthen the cable as necessary
to stop the auger from turning when the control is released.
Reattach the spring to the rearmost hole in the actuator bracket.
Repeat the wheel drive and auger control tests to verify proper
adjustment. Repeat previous steps if necessary to attain proper
adjustment of each cable.
If adjusting the drive cable, thread the lock nut outward (down the
coupler towards the end fo the thread) to lengthen the cable and
allow the unit to move freely when the control is released. Thread
the lock nut inward (up the coupler towards the cable) to shorten
the cable to reduce slippage and prevent the machine from being
easily moved with the drive control engaged.
