Shift Rod Adjustment
Skid Shoes
To adjust the shift rod, proceed as follows:
The space between the shave plate and the ground can
be adjusted.
•
Remove the hairpin clip and slide the shift rod
connector up, to separate the upper shift rod from
the lower shift rod. See Figure 11.
•
•
•
For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise
skid shoes higher on the auger housing.
Use a middle or lower position when the area to be
cleared is uneven.
Adjust skid shoes by loosening the flange lock nuts
and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired
position. See Figure 12.
•
•
Place the shift lever into the sixth (6) position.
Rotate the shift arm clockwise (from the operator’s
position) as far as it will go.
•
Thread the upper shift rod downward until the
elbow on its lower end aligns with the hole found in
the lower shift rod.

Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe
is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the
skid shoes. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
Repeat on the other side of the snow thrower.
Lower Shift Rod
WARNING: Do not operate this snow
thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be
easily picked up and thrown by the auger
causing injury to the operator and/or
damage to the snow thrower.

Reconnect the upper shift rod to the lower shift rod
by reinserting the hairpin clip removed earlier and
sliding the shift rod connector back down into place.
Carburetor
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude and load.
IMPORTANT: Make certain to check for correct
adjustment of the shift rod as instructed under Final
Adjustments in the Assembly Section, before operating
the snow thrower.

Refer to the separate engine manual, packed with
your unit, for carburetor adjustment information.
