Drive Control
Chute Bracket Adjustment
When the drive control is released and in the disengaged “up”
position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be
tight.
If the spiral at the bottom of the chute directional control is not
fully engaging with the chute assembly, the chute bracket can be
adjusted. To do so:
NOTE: If excessive slack is present in the drive cable or if the
snow thrower’s drive is disengaging intermittently during
operation, the cable may be in need of adjustment.
1.
Loosen the two nuts which secure the chute bracket and
reposition it slightly. See Fig. 6-6.
Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:
1
.
With the drive control released, push the snow thrower
gently forward. The unit should roll freely.
2
.
Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push the
snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn. The
unit should not roll freely.
3
.
With the drive control released, move the shift lever back
and forth between the R2 position and the F6 position
several times. There should be no resistance in the shift
lever.

If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in need of
adjustment. Proceed as follows:

Fig. 6-5.
