With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to drain the oil and gasoline or drain the oil and 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 six self­tapping screws.
With the traction drive clutch released, there must be clearance between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the shift lever. With the traction drive clutch engaged, the friction wheel must contact the drive plate. See Figure 21.
If adjustment is necessary , loosen the hex jam nut on the traction drive cable and thread the cable in or out as necessary. Tighten the hex jam nut to secure the cable when correct adjustment is reached. Reassem­ble the frame cover.
DRIVE WHEELS
The wheels may be adjusted for two different meth­ods of operation. The adjustment is made by placing the klick pins in one of two different holes on the right side of the unit. See Figure 22.
1. One Wheel Driving—Place klick pin in the out­side axle hole on the right side. This position gives power drive to the left wheel only, making the unit easier to maneuver.
2. Both Wheels Driving—Both Wheels Driving— Rotate wheel assembly to align hole in hub with inner hole on axle shaft. Insert klick pin in hole. Outer axle shaft hole should be visible. This position is good for heavy snow as there is power to both wheels. See Figure 22.
NOTE: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be
certain to remove it.

SECTION 10: MAINTENANCE
AUGERS
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two shear bolts and hex lock nuts. See Figure 24. If you hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the hex bolts will shear.
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the bolts have sheared. Two replacement shear bolts and hex lock nuts have been provided with the snow thrower. For future use, order part number 710-0890A (shear bolt 5/16-18 x 1.5" long) and 712-0429 (hex insert lock nut 5/16-18 thread).
GEAR CASE
The worm gear case has been filled with grease at the factory. If disassembled for any reason, lubricate with 2 ounces of Shell Alvania grease EPR00, part number 737-0168. Before reassembling, remove old sealant and apply “Loctite 5699” or equivalent.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the gear case.
Damage to the seals could result. Be sure the vent plug is free of grease in order to relieve pressure.
To remove skid shoes, remove the f our carriage bolts, bell washers and hex nuts which attach them to the snow thrower. Reassemble new skid shoes with the four carriage bolts, bell washers (cupped side goes against skid shoes) and hex nuts. Make certain the skid shoes are adjusted to be level.
To remove shave plate, remove the carriage bolts, bell washers and hex nuts which attach it to the sno w thrower housing. Reassemble new shave plate, mak­ing sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the inside of the housing. Tighten securely.
SHAVE PLATE AND SKID SHOES
The shave plate and skid shoes on the bottom of the snow thrower are subject to wear. They should be checked periodically and replaced when necessary.
