Attach   track   control   cable   to    track   control
handle by  inserting cable ball  into slot   on track
control  handle. Pull  cable  down and  up  until it
snaps into  front of  track control  handle. Repeat
on other side.
Secure the  track control  cables to  the inside  of
the lower  handle  using the  cable ties  provided.
Pull  the  cable  ties  tight,  and  trim  the  excess
ends of the cable ties. See figure 12.
Move the shift lever back to  the fast reverse position,
then all  the way  forward again. There  should be  no
resistance in movement of shift lever.
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
cable and thread the cable  in one turn. Recheck and
repeat adjustment as necessary. Tighten the lock nut
to  secure   the  cable   when  correct   adjustment  is
reached.

NOTE: If you  are uncertain that  you have reached
the   correct  adjustment,   refer   to  the   Adjustment
section on page 13.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
The space between  the shave plate  and the ground
can  be  adjusted.  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 13.
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.
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.

10.
Recheck
the
adjustment.  Tighten  the   hex  jam  nut  against  the
cable when correct adjustment is reached.
Traction Drive Clutch and Shift Lever Adjustment

and  shift  lever,  move  the  track   lock  lever  to  the
