Drive Control
When the drive control is released and in the disengaged “up”
position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be
tight.
NOTE: If excessive slack is present in the drive cable or if the snow
thrower’s drive is disengaging intermittently during operation,
the cable may be in need of adjustment.
Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:
With the drive control released, push the snow thrower 1.
gently forward. The unit should roll freely.
Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push the 2.
snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn. The
unit should not roll freely.
With the drive control released, move the shift lever back 3.
and forth between the R2 position and the F6 position
several times. There should be no resistance in the shift
lever.
If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in need of
adjustment. Proceed as follows:
Loosen the lower hex screw on the drive cable bracket. See 1.
Fig. 6-5.
Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or 2.
downward to increase cable tension).
Retighten the upper hex screw. 3.
Repeat Drive Control Test to verify proper adjustment has 4.
been achieved.

Adjustments
Shift Cable
If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be
achieved, adjust the shift cable as follows:
Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed position.1.
Loosen the hex nut on the shift cable index bracket. See 2.
Fig. 6-4.
Pivot the bracket downward to take up slack in the cable. 3.
Retighten the hex nut.4.
