Drive Wheels
The wheels may be adjusted for two different methods of operation. The adjustment is made by placing the click pins in one of two different holes on the right side of the unit. See Figure 16.
One Wheel Driving—Insert the click pin only through the outside hole of the axle (not the rim) on the right side of the snow thrower. This position gives power drive to the left wheel only, making the unit easier to maneuver. Both Wheels Driving—Insert the click pin through the hole in the hub of the rim and the inside hole on the snow throwers right axle. This position is good for heavy snow as there is power drive in both wheels.
IMPORT ANT :
