Note: Position the shift rod with the bend rearward.
2. Insert the lower ball joint stud through the right side of
the transmission lever and secure it with a locknut
(Fig. 6).
3. Shift the snowthrower into second gear and check the
shift rod alignment with the Power Shift slot (see inset
in Fig. 6).
Note: If the gear shift lever does not align with the
Power Shift slot in the control panel, adjust the shift rod
length as follows:
A. Disconnect the ball joint from the transmission lever
and loosen the jam nut (Fig. 6).
B. Rotate the ball joint up or down until the gear shift
lever aligns with the Power Shift slot (Fig. 6).
C. Install the ball joint to the transmission lever and
tighten the jam nut (Fig. 6).
Installing the Discharge Chute

2. Set the discharge chute (open side forward) onto the
discharge opening so that the chute retainers are on the
chute ring (Fig. 7).
Note: Ensure that the chute retainer guide pins are in
the holes in the chute gear.
3. Tighten the screw and the locknut on the left side to
position the chute retainer against the chute retainer
plate and to secure the discharge chute to the chute ring
(Fig. 7).
4. Push the other chute retainers toward the discharge
chute (slotted), and tighten the screws (Fig. 7).
5. Ensure that the chute rotates freely on the chute ring. If
the chute binds, move the right-hand retainer outward
(Fig. 7).

and insert the chute gear rod through the bracket and the

3. Loosely mount the worm gear and the bracket to the
mounting flange with a carriage bolt, a flat washer, and
a locknut (Fig. 8).
4. Slide the worm gear into the teeth of the chute gear and
tighten the locknut.
5. Operate the chute control. If the chute control binds,
apply a light coat of grease to the worm gear and move
it slightly outward if it binds; move it slightly inward if
it is too loose.
