Set-Up
Shear Pins
A pair of replacement auger shear pins and bow tie cotter pins
are included with your snow thrower. Store them in your snow
thrower’s dash panel until needed. See Fig. 3-10.
Chute Clean-Out Tool
The chute clean-out tool is fastened to the top of the auger
housing with a mounting clip and a cable tie at the factory. Cut
the cable tie before operating the snow thrower. See Fig. 3-11.
Push the rod toward the control panel until the hole in the 8.
hex rod lines up with the hole in the chute control input
closest to the chute control head and insert the cotter pin.
See Fig. 3-8.
Note: The second hole is used to achieve further
engagement of the hex rod into the pinion gear if required.
Refer to page 19 for Chute Control Rod adjustments.
Check that all cables are properly routed through the cable 9.
guide on top of the engine. See Fig. 3-9.
Note: For smoothest operation, the cables should all be to
the left of the hex rod.
