b. Engage the traction control and attempt to
move the machine both forward and
rearward. You should experience resistance
as the wheels should not be turning.
•
Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2)
position and repeat the previous steps (a & b).
If you experienced resistance either when repositioning
the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when attempting to move
the machine forward or rearward with the traction
control released, your snow thrower’s traction control is
in need of adjustment and you should NOT operate the
machine before completing the adjustment as follows:

rearward when the traction control fully depressed,
proceed as follows:
•

•
•
Loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and
THREAD the cable in one full turn.
Recheck the adjustment and repeat adjustment as
necessary.
Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when
correct adjustment is reached.
If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:

Skid Shoe Adjustment
The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted by repositioning the skid shoes found on
either side of the snow throwers auger housing. For
close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low
position. Use middle or high position when area to be
cleared is uneven. See Figure 7.
IMPORTANT: It is NOT recommended that this snow
thrower be operated on a gravel surface, as loose
stones can be easily picked up and thrown by the
machine. If you must operate on a gravel surface,
ALWAYS adjust the skid shoes into the HIGH position
to allow the shave plate maximum clearance.
