If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot be achieved, refer to Figure 5-1 and adjust the shift cable as follows:

1. Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed position.

2. Loosen the hex nut on the shift cable index bracket. See Figure 5-1.

3. Pivot the bracket downward to take up slack in the cable.

4. Retighten the hex nut.

5. Check for correct adjustment before operating the snow thrower.

Chute Control

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to “Operating Your Snow Thrower” for instructions. The remote chute control cables have been pre-adjusted at the factory. Move the remote chute lever on the control panel back and forward to adjust angle of the chute assembly.

Drive Control

Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the “Setting up your Snowthrower” instructions to adjust the drive control. To further check the adjustment, proceed 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. See Figure 5-2.

2. Looking underneath the snow thrower, with the drive control released, there must be 1/8” clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the shift lever. (See Figure 5-3).

3. With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel must contact the drive plate. See Figure 5-3.

4. If there is no friction wheel clearance, or the friction wheel does not solidly contact the drive plate, readjust the lock nut on the lower end of the drive cable following the instructions in the Assembly section.

5. Reassemble the frame cover.

If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, or if it is the end of the snow season when the last possibility of snow is gone, the equipment needs to be stored properly. Follow storage instructions below to ensure top performance from the snow thrower for many more years.

Off-Season

Storage

WARNING

Never store snow thrower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas appliance.

Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems.

Preparing Engine

NOTE: Refer to the engine manual for more detailed information on preparing the snow thrower engine for storage.

Short-Term Storage

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts of the engine such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during short-term storage (15-30 days). To prevent this, treat the fuel system using a fuel stabalizer.

Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL™ or ULTRA-FRESH™) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.

WARNING: Never store snow thrower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may

reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas appliance.

CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels

(called gasohol or using ethanol or

methanol) can attract moisture which

leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

Preparing Snow Thrower

• When storing the snow thrower in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains, springs, bearings and cables.

• Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment.

• Follow lubrication recommendations.

• Store equipment in a clean, dry area.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaning products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

Long-Term Storage

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer.

WARNING: Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems.

1. Run the engine until the fuel tank is empty and it stops due to lack of fuel. Do not attempt to pour fuel from the engine.

WARNING: Never use engine or carburetor cleaning products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

2. Remove the spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of engine oil through the spark plug hole into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with a rag and crank the engine several times to distribute the oil. Replace spark plug.
