Making
Adjustments
WARNING
Read, understand, 
and follow all instruc-
tions and warnings 
on the machine and 
in this manual before 
operating.
Never attempt to 
make any adjust-
ments while the 
engine is running, 
except where speci-
fied in operator’s 
manual.
Shift Rod
If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot 
be achieved, refer to Figure 15 and adjust the shift rod 
as follows:
1.  Looking underneath the handle panel, note which 
of the three holes in the shift lever the ferrule is 
inserted into. Also note the direction of insertion. 
Then remove the internal cotter pin and flat washer 
from the ferrule and withdraw the ferrule from the 
shift lever. See Figure 15.
2.  Place shift lever in sixth (6) position or fastest 
forward speed.
3.  Push shift rod and shift arm assembly down sharply, 
as far as it will go to put the drive into the fastest 
forward position.
4.  As necessary, rotate the ferrule up or down the shift 
rod until the ferrule lines up with the hole from which 
it was earlier removed. See Figure 15.
5.  From the direction noted earlier, insert the ferrule 
into the proper hole. 
6.  Reinstall the washer and the internal cotter pin.
Drive Control
Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the Set-Up 
instructions to adjust the drive control. To further check 
the adjustment, proceed as follows:
1.  Drain the gasoline out of your snow thrower’s engine, 
and place a piece of plastic film under the gas cap to 
avoid spillage.
2.  Tip the snow thrower forward, allowing it to rest on 
the auger housing.
3.  Remove the frame cover underneath the snow 
thrower by removing 
the
 self-tapping screws. See 
Figure 16.
4.  With the wheel drive control released, check if there 
is clearance between friction wheel and drive plate in 
all positions of the shift lever. See Figure 17.
5.  With the drive control lever engaged, check if the 
friction wheel solidly contacts the drive plate. See 
Figure 17. If not, adjust as follows:
a.  Loosen the jam nut on the traction drive cable and 
thread the cable in or out as necessary.
b.  Retighten the jam nut to secure the cable when 
correct adjustment is reached. 
6.  Reassemble the frame cover.
NOTE: If you placed plastic film under the gas cap earlier, 
remove it now.
