4. If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in
need of adjustment. Proceed as follows:
5. Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket.
See Figure 16.
6. Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or
downward to increase cable tension).
7. Retighten the lower hex nut.
You can also check the adjustment as follows:
1. With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to
drain gasoline or place plastic film under the gas cap if
the snow thrower has already been operated), remove
the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by
removing the self-tapping screws. Refer to Figure 22
on page 17.
2. With the drive control released, there must be 1/8”
clearance between the friction wheel and the drive
pulley in all positions of the shift lever.
3. With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel must
contact the drive pulley. Refer to Figure 24 on page
18.
4. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the lower hex nut
on the drive cable index bracket and pivot the bracket
upward or downward as necessary. Refer to Figure
16. Tighten the lower hex nut to secure the bracket
when correct adjustment is reached.
5. Reassemble the frame cover and turn the unit back to
its operating position.
NOTE: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be certain
to remove it now.
Auger Control
To adjust the auger control, refer to page 13.
Skid Shoes
The space between this 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.
1. Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four lock nuts
and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired
position. See Figure 17.
2. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoes
are against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the
skid shoes.
3. Tighten nuts and bolts securely.

Adjustments
IMPORTANT
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 personal injury
or damage to the snow
thrower.
If for some reason,
you have to operate
the snow thrower on
gravel, keep the skid
shoe in the highest
position for maximum
clearance between the
ground and the shave
plate.
