Drive Control
WARNING: Run the engine completely dry of
gasoline before tipping snowthrower.
Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the Set-Up instructions
to adjust the drive control. To further check the adjustment,
proceed as follows:
Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on the 1.
auger housing.
Remove the frame cover underneath the snow thrower by 2.
removing the self-tapping screws. See Figure 6-6.
With the wheel drive control released, check if there is 3.
clearance between friction wheel and drive plate in all
positions of the shift lever. See Figure 6-7.
With the drive control lever engaged, check if the friction 4.
wheel solidly contacts the drive plate. See Figure 6-7. If not,
adjust as follows:
a. Thread the lock nut outward (down the coupler)
to lengthen the cable and allow the unit to move
freely when the control is released. Refer to Fig.
3-13. Thread the lock nut inward (up the coupler) to
shorten the cable to reduce slippage and prevent
the machine from being easily moved with the drive
control engaged.
5. Reassemble the frame cover.
