. Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately
ten (10) seconds before releasing the auger control.
Repeat this several times.
. With the throttle control in the FAST (rabbit) position
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. 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 re-adjusting the auger control.
Testing Drive Control & Shift Lever
1
. With the engine turned off, move the shift lever into
sixth (6) position. Refer to Figure 3-11.
2
. 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 ma-
chine both forward and back, resistance should be felt.
. 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.
Adjusting Drive and Auger Controls
1
. From beneath the handle, pull downward on the appro-
priate cable and unhook the spring found on the end of
the cable from its respective actuator bracket. Refer to
Figures 3-11 and 3-12.

. Slide the spring up the cable to expose the cable cou-
pler threads and lock nut. Refer to Figure 3-13.
WARNING! Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable
and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the
machine indoors or while the engine is hot or
running. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and
other sources of ignition.
. Adjust the lock nut as follows: If adjusting the drive
cable, thread the lock nut outward (down the coupler)
to lengthen the cable and allow the unit to move freely
when the control is released. Thread the lock nut inward
(up the coupler) to shorten the cable to reduce slippage
and prevent the machine from being easily moved with
the drive control engaged.
Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in
the Tecumseh Engine Operator’s Manual packed separately
with your snow thrower. Read instructions carefully.
WARNING! Do not over-tighten the cable.
Over-tightening may prevent the auger from
disengaging and compromise the safety of the
snow thrower.

. If adjusting the auger cable, thread the lock nut down to
lengthen the cable as necessary to stop the auger from
turning when the control is released.
. Securely hook each cable’s spring into the appropriate
hole of the respective actuator bracket. The auger cable
hooks into the forward-most hole in the bracket, the
drive cable hooks into the rear-most hole of its bracket.
6
. Repeat the wheel drive and auger control tests to verify
proper adjustment. Repeat previous steps if necessary
to attain proper adjustment of each cable
