Final Adjustments
Adjusting Auger Control To check the adjustment of the auger control, push forward the left hand clutchgrip untilthe rubberbumper is compressed, There should be slack in the clutchcable. Release the clutchgrip.The cable should be straight. Make certain you can depress the auger controlgrip against the left handle completely. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the hex jam nut and thread the cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack), Recheck the adjustment. Tighten the jam nut against the cable when correctadjustment is reached.

NOTE: Cables are out of adjustment if augers continueto turn when auger clutchis released and/or machine continuesto run when drive clutchis released. For more details, refer to the Service and Adjustment section. Adjusting Skid Shoe The space between the shave plate and the ground can be changed by adjustingthe skid shoe. Return weight transferlever to normal position before adjustingskid shoes. For close snow removal, adjust skid shoes higher to minimizegap between the shave plate and the ground. For snow removalfrom uneven ground like gravel, adjustskid shoes downwardto create sufficientclearance between the bottomedge of the shave plate and the ground. See Figure 16. NOTE: It is not recommended that you operate this snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily picked up and thrownby the auger causing an injury or damage to the snow thrower. However, if you do have to use the snow throweron gravel, put the weight transfer lever to transport position. Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to desired position. Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear on the skid shoes. See Figure 16. Retighten nuts and bolts securely.

Adjusting Traction Drive Control To check the adjustment of the traction drive controland shift lever, move the weight transfer lever to the transportposition (shownin Figure 18 on page 13) and the shift lever all the way forward to sixth (6) position. With the tractiondrive control released, pull the triggersup to the handle and then pushthe snow thrower forward to checkthat the tracks turn. Squeeze tractiondrivecontrolagainstthe handle and pullthe starter.The tracksshouldturn. Now release the tractiondrive controland pull the starter again. The unitshould not move. Before proceedingwith adjustment, make sure that the spark plug is disconnected. If the traction drive controlneeds adjustment, loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and thread the cable one turn. Recheck adjustment and repeat as necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable when correctadjustment is reached.

If your snow thrower is leftunused for 30 days or longer, it needs to be prepared for storage. Also, at the end of the snow season, you should follow the same set of instructionsend store the snow thrower properly for the off-season. Proper storage ensures longer life of the snow thrower.

&

WARNING: Drain fuel into approved containeroutdoors,away from any open flame. Be certainengine is cool. Do not smoke. Fuel leftin engine duringwarm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems,

Preparing Engine

WARNING: Never store snow thrower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorlyventilated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilotlight as on a furnace, water heater, clothesdryer or gas appliance.

Run the engine untilthe fuel tank is empty and it stops due to lack of fuel. Drain carburetor by pressing upwardon bowl drain, located below the carburetor cover. See Figure 31.

It is important to prevent gum depositsfrom forming in essential fuel system parts of the engine such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also experience indicates that 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. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storagefor 30 days or longer. Follow these instructionsto prepare your snow thrower for storage: Remove all gasolinefrom the carburetor and the fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of the engine. Carburetor

&

WARNING: Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.Never use engirle or carburetorcleaning productsin the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formationof fuel gum depositsduring storage. Add stabilizerto gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always followmix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutesafter addingstabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.Do not drain carburetor ff using fuel stabilizer. Remove the spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of engine oil through the spark plughole intothe cylinder. Place a rag over the hole. Crank the engine several times to distribute the oil. Replace spark plug.

Preparing Snow Thrower

When storingthe snow thrower in an unventilatedor metal storage shed, care should be taken to rustproofthe equipment. Using a light oilor silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains, springs,bearings and cables. Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment. Followlubricationrecommendationson page 18. Store in a clean, dry area.
