Cub Cadet WE 26 Benutzerhandbuch

If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot 
be achieved, refer to the figure to the left 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 14.

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.

Once a season or every 25 hours of operation, whichever 
is earlier, check whether the four-way chute control™ 
cables have slackened. If the chute does not rotate 
fully or its pitch cannot be moved up or down, the chute 
control cables will have to be adjusted. 
To adjust these cables, proceed as follows:
1.  To tighten cable, loosen the top nut and tighten the 

bottom nut on the cable.

2.  Adjust equally on both sides by working on both 

cables. See Figure 15.

When the drive control is released and in the disengaged 
“up” position, the cable should have very little slack. It 
should NOT be tight.
Check the adjustment of the drive control as follows:
1.  With the drive control released, push the snow thrower 

gently forward. The unit should roll freely. 

2.  Engage the drive control and gently attempt to push 

the snow thrower forward. The wheels should not turn. 
The unit should not roll freely.

3.  With the drive control released, move the shift lever 

back and forth between the R2 position and the F6 
position several times. There should be no resistance 
in the shift lever.

4.  If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable is in 

need of adjustment. Proceed as follows:

5.  Loosen the lower hex nut on the drive cable bracket. 

See Figure 16.

6.  Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or 

downward to increase cable tension). 

7.  Retighten the lower hex nut.
