Drive Cable
•
Make sure that the drive cable is routed parallel to
the left upper handle, then across the top of the
lower handle and finally parallel to the right lower
handle.
•
Three cable ties have been used to loosely tie the
two control cables to the lower handle. Two of these
cable ties are on each arm, and third on the top
cross bar of the lower handle. Tighten these cable
ties to secure the cable to the lower handle. See
Figure 5.
Skid Shoe
The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted. Refer to Figure 6 for location of shave
plate and skid shoes.
For close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low
position. When the area to be cleared is uneven, place
skid shoes in the middle or high position. See Figure 4.
NOTE: It is not recommended that you operate this
snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily
picked up and thrown by the auger causing personal
injury or damage to the snow thrower. However, if you
have to operate the it on gravel, keep the skid shoe in
the highest position for maximum clearance.
