If you have resistance when moving the shift lever or
you are unable to turn the tracks by pushing the snow
thrower, loosen the lock nut on the traction drive
cable and unthread the cable one turn. If you are able
to turn the tracks when you engage the traction drive
clutch grip, loosen the lock nut on the traction drive

repeat adjustment as necessary. Tighten the lock nut
to secure the cable when correct adjustment is

Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts and
carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired
position. 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. See Figure 16
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 an injury
or damage to the snow thrower. If you do wish to
use the snow thrower on gravel, refer to “Track Lock
Lever” instructions in the Control section.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Auger Drive Clutch
To check the adjustment of the auger drive clutch,
push forward on the left hand clutch grip (depress
the rubber bumper). There should be slack in the
cable. Release the clutch grip. The cable should be
straight. Make certain you can depress the auger
drive clutch grip against the left handle completely.
If necessary, loosen the hex jam nut and thread the
cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack) as
necessary. Refer to Figure 15. Recheck the
adjustment. Tighten the hex jam nut against the
cable when correct adjustment is reached.
Traction Drive Clutch and Shift Lever Adjustment
To check the adjustment of the traction drive clutch
and shift lever, move the track lock lever to the
transport position and the shift lever all the way left
to fifth (5) position. With the traction drive clutch
released, push the snow thrower forward to check
that the tracks turn.
NOTE: It may be necessary to “rock” the snow
thrower backward, then forward, to start the tracks
turning.

tion drive clutch and make sure the tracks again turn.
