Drift cutters should be used when operating the snow 
thrower in heavy drift conditions. 
•  On models so equipped, drift cutters and hardware

are assembled to the auger housing inverted.

•  Remove the carriage bolts and wingnuts securing the

drift cutters to the housing.

•  Reposition drift cutters so they face forward as

shown in Figure 3-9. Secure with hardware previously 
removed, wingnuts should be fastened on the 

of the housing as shown.

If your unit is 

not equipped with drift cutters, you may 

contact Customer Support as instructed on page 2 for 
information regarding price and availability.

The clean-out tool is mounted to the rear of the auger 
housing and is designed to clear a clogged chute. See 
Figure 3-10. Refer to the Operation section for more 
detailed information regarding the chute clean-out tool.

NOTE: This item is fastened with a cable tie to the rear of 
the auger housing at the factory. Cut the cable tie before 
operating the snow thrower.

Make these final adjustments before operating your snow 
thrower for the first time. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may cause damage to the snow thrower.
Wheel Drive Control & Shift Lever 
Perform the following test to determine need for adjust-
ment:
•  Move the shift lever into sixth (6) position. See Figure

3-14.

•  With the drive control released (see Figure 3-11A),

push the snow thrower forward, then pull it back. The 
machine should move freely. 

•  Engage the drive control and attempt to move the

machine both forward and back, resistance should be 
felt.

•  Move the shift lever into the fast reverse (R2) position

and repeat the previous two steps. 

If you experienced resistance rolling the unit, either 
when repositioning the shift lever from 6 to R2 or when 
attempting to move the machine with the drive control 
released, adjust the drive control immediately. To adjust, 
proceed as follows:

Under any circum-
stance do not exceed 
manufacturer’s recom-
mended psi. Equal tire 
pressure should be 
maintained at all times. 
Excessive pressure 
when seating beads 
may cause tire/rim 
assembly to burst 
with force sufficient to 
cause serious injury. 
Refer to sidewall of 
tire for recommended 
pressure.

Wheels are omitted from illustration for clarity. 

•  Wrap the wire from the head lamp down the right

handle until the wire can be plugged into the alterna-
tor lead wire under the fuel tank. See Figure 3-8.
