Traction Control and Shift Lever
To check the adjustment of the traction control and shift
lever, proceed as follows:
•
•
Move the shift lever into sixth (6) position.
With traction control released, gently push the
snow thrower forward, then pull it back. The
machine should move freely.
•
•
Engage traction control, and try to move the
machine both forward and back. You should
experience resistance.
Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2)
position and repeat the previous two steps.
Note: Cut-out view of lower handle shown for clarity.

•
If not already attached, slip the cables that run from
the handle panel to the chute into the cable guide
located on top of the engine. See Figure 5.
If you experienced resistance either when repositioning
the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when attempting to move
the machine with the traction control released, adjust
the traction control immediately. To adjust, proceed as
follows:
Cable Guide
•
Loosen the jam nut on the traction control cable
and UNTHREAD the cable one full turn.
Recheck adjustment.
Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when
correct adjustment is reached.

Auger Control
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
•
Push down on the auger control until the small
rubber bumper contacts the upper handle. There
should be slack in the auger control cable.
Release the auger control. The cable should be
straight. Make certain you can depress the auger
control against the left handle completely.

If for shipping purposes the wiring harness was left
unattached to the power lead, follow the steps below to
attach it now:
•
•
Follow the conduit that holds the wiring harness
from under the right side of the handle panel to
where the connectors are located at the bottom of
the right hand lower handle. See Figure 6.
Plug the wiring harness into the power lead located
on the right side of the engine, underneath the fuel
tank. See Figure 6 inset.
If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:
•
Loosen the jam nut and thread the cable in (for less
slack) or out (for more slack) as necessary. See
Figure 7.
