Make certain to check for correct adjustment of the 
shift rod as instructed in the Final Adjustment 
section before operating the snow thrower.
Attaching Control Cables
The Z-end of the control cables are hooked into the 
control grips on each handle. Attach cables as follows:
Thread the hex jam nuts all the way up the 
threaded portion of the Z-ends of the control 
cables.
Make certain each cable is in groove of cable roller 
guides. Place the control grip in the raised position.
Thread the cable onto the threaded portion of the Z-
end until there is no slack in the cable, making sure 
cable is straight. Do not overtighten cable.
See Figure 8.
When correct adjustment is reached, tighten the 
hex jam nut against the bottom portion of the cable 
to lock it in position.
Figure 8
WARNING: If cable is tighten so there is
tension on the cable with the control grip
released, the safety features of the snow
thrower may be overridden.
Attaching Track Controls 
(Use Hardware F)
Remove the screw from the top of the right hand 
track control. Be careful not to lose the flat weld nut 
that is inside the control.
Place the right track control in position underneath 
the right handle. Secure with screw previously 
removed. See Figure 9.
Secure the left track control in the same manner.
Attach track control cable to track control handle by 
inserting cable ball into slot on track control handle. 
Pull cable down and up until it snaps into front of 
track control handle. Repeat on other side.
Figure 9
Secure the track control cables to the inside of the 
lower handle using the cable ties provided. Pull the 
cable ties tight and trim the excess ends of the 
cable ties. See Figure 10.

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS
Auger Control Adjustment
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
Push forward on the auger control until the small 
rubber bumper contacts the upper handle. There 
should be slack in the cable.  See Figure 8.
Release the auger control. The cable should be 
straight. Make certain you can depress the auger 
control against the left handle completely.
If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows:
Loosen the jam nut and thread the cable in (for less 
slack) or out (for more slack) as necessary. See 
Figure 8. 
Recheck the adjustment before retightening the 
jam nut against the cable.
Skid Shoe Adjustment
The space between the shave plate and the ground can 
be adjusted by repositioning the skid shoes found on 
either side of the snow throwers auger housing. For 
close snow removal, place skid shoes in the low 
position. Use middle or high position when area to be 
cleared is uneven. See Figure 11.
