pins in the outside hole in the axle. This posi

tion allows easier movement when the engine

is not running.

2. Both Wheels Driving—Place both klick pins in

the hole in the hub next to the rim. This posi
tion is good for heavy snow as there is power
drive in both wheels.

3. One Wheel Driving —Place klick pin in the out

side axle hole on one side and in the hole in
the hub next to the rim on-the other. This posi

tion gives power drive to one wheel only, mak

DRIVE WHEELS (Models 860 and 960)

Snow throwers model 860 and 960 are equipped
with a differential which makes the unit easy to
maneuver, it may be adjusted for two different
methods of operation. The adjustment is made by

placing the kiick pins in one of two different holes

on each side of the unit. See figure 25.

1. Differential Action —Place kiick pin in the out

side hole in the axle. This position allows easy
maneuvering when blowing light to medium
snow.

2. Straight Axle Action—Place kiick pin in the
hole in the hub next to the rim on the right

wheel. This position should be used when
blowing heavy snow or when greater traction

is needed (icy surfaces, etc.). The unit will be
more difficult to maneuver.

DRIVE AND AUGER CLUTCH ADJUSTMENTS
