Adjustments
WARNING! 
Before Servicing, repairing or 
inspecting the snow thrower, disengage the auger 
control. Stop the engine and remove the key to 
prevent unintended starting.
Shave Plate
To check the adjustment of the shave plate, place the 
1. 
machine on a level surface. The wheels, shave plate and 
augers should all contact the level surface. Note that if the 
shave plate is adjusted too high, snow may blow under the 
housing. If the shave plate wears out excessively, or the 
snow thrower does not self-propel, the shave plate may be 
too low and needs to be adjusted.
NOTE: On new snow throwers or machines with a new 
shave plate installed, the augers may be slightly off the 
ground.
To adjust the shave plate, tip the snow thrower back so that 
2. 
it rests on the handle. Loosen the four lock nuts and bolts 
which secure the shave plate to the housing. See Fig. 6-1. 
Move the shave plate to the desired position and retighten 
the nuts and bolts securely.
Control Cable
As a result of both the control cable and the auger drive belt 
stretching due to wear, periodic adjustments may be necessary. If 
the auger seems to hesitate when rotating, proceed as follows:
The upper hole in the control handle provides for an adjustment 
in cable tension. To adjust, disconnect the end of control cable 
from the bottom hole in the control handle and reinsert it in the 
upper hole. Insert the cable from the outside as shown in Fig. 6-2.
 Test the snow thrower to see if there is a noticeable difference. If 
after the adjustment to the control cable the auger still hesitates 
when rotatiing, see the Service Section for instructions on 
replacing the belt.
Chute Assembly
Refer to the Assembly and Set-Up section for instructions on 
adjusting the chute assembly.
Maintenance
Lubrication
Lubricate the pivot points on the control handle and the 
extension spring at the end of the control cable with a light 
oil once every season and before the snow thrower is put into 
storage at the end of the season.
 Off-Season Storage
If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, follow 
the instructions below. 
Store the equipment in a clean, dry area.
1. 
If storing the snow thrower in an unventilated area, rustproof 
2. 
the machine using a light oil or silicone to coat the snow 
thrower.
Clean the exterior of the engine and the snow thrower.
