10. Insert the shift arm assembly into the friction wheel 

assembly and hold assembly in position. See 
Figure 22.

11. Slide hex gear shaft through right side of the 

housing and the friction wheel assembly.

12. Insert the hex gear shaft through the sprocket and 

the spacer. Make certain that chain engages both 
the large and the small sprocket.

NOTE: If the sprocket fell from the snow thrower while
removing the hex gear shaft, place the sprocket on the
hex gear shaft. Position the hex hub of the sprocket
toward the friction wheel when sliding the sprocket on
to hex gear shaft. 

13. Align the hex gear shaft with the left bearing and 

carefully guide this bearing into left side of housing.

14. Install the right bearing on the hex gear shaft and 

check that the spacer and bearing in the drive cover 
are aligned to the steerable shaft. See Figure 22.

15. Reassemble the drive cover with four screws 

removed in step 6. Install the right wheel with the 
bolt removed earlier.

16. Reassemble the frame cover with the self-tapping 

screws. Flip the equipment back to the operating 
position and re-attach the belt cover.

NOTE:  If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be
certain to remove it.

Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the Assembly 
instructions to adjust the drive control. To check the 
adjustment, proceed as follows:
1.

With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to 
drain the gasoline or place plastic film under the 
gas cap if the snow thrower has already been 
operated), remove the frame cover underneath the 
snow thrower by removing the self-tapping screws.

2.

With the drive control released, there must be 1/8” 
clearance between the friction wheel and the drive 
plate in all positions of the shift lever. 

3.

With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel 
must contact the drive plate (Figure 19).

4.

If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut on 
the drive cable and thread the cable in or out as 
necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable 
when correct adjustment is reached. Reassemble 
the frame cover.

NOTE:  If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be
certain to remove it. 

Refer to page 6 for details.

To adjust the shift rod, proceed as follows.
1.

Place shift lever in sixth (6) position or the fastest 
forward speed. See Figure 23A.

2.

Remove hairpin clip from the shift handle under the 
handle panel. See Figure 23B.

3.

Push shift arm assembly down as far as it will go. 
See Figure 23C.

4.

Rotate the ferrule up or down the shift rod as 
necessary until the ferrule lines up with the upper 
hole in the shift lever. See Figure 23B.

5.

Insert ferrule from right side of the snow thrower 
into the upper hole in shift lever. See Figure 23B.

6.

Reinstall the hairpin clip.
