• Thread the ferrule onto the shift rod until the ferrule
lines up with the upper hole in the shift lever
(beneath the handle panel). Insert the ferrule into
the upper hole in the shift lever from the left side
when adjustment is correct. Secure with flat washer
and hairpin clip.
Make certain to check for correct adjustment of the shift
rod as instructed in the Final Adjustment section before
operating the snow thrower.

Final Adjustments
Auger Control Adjustment
To check the adjustment of the auger control, push
forward on the left hand control, depressing the rubber
bumper on end of control. There should be slack in the
cable. Release the control. The cable should be
straight. Make certain you can depress the auger
control 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. Recheck the adjustment. Tighten the jam
nut against the cable when correct adjustment is
reached. SeeFigure 10.
Figure 10
Traction Control And Shift Lever
Adjustment
To check the adjustment of the traction control and shift
lever, move the shift lever all the way forward to sixth
(6) position. With the traction control released, push the
snow thrower forward. The unit should move forward
freely. Then engage the traction control grip. The
wheels should stop turning.
Now release the traction control grip, and push the unit
again. Move the shift lever back to the fast reverse
position, then all the way forward again. There should
be no resistance in the shift lever, and the wheels
should keep turning.
If you have resistance when moving the shift lever or
the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the jam
nut on the traction control cable and unthread the cable
one turn. If the wheels do not stop when you engage the
traction control grip, loosen the jam nut on the traction
control cable and thread the cable in one turn. Recheck
the adjustment and repeat as necessary. Tighten the
jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is
reached.
Adjusting The Skid Shoes
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 11.
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.
