7.

Insert the round end of the chute control box on the 
short tube of the chute assembly as shown in 
Figure 3C. 

8.

Insert other end of the chute control box into the 
chute support tube as shown in Figure 3C.

9.

Insert the clevis pin, earlier removed, through the 
holes on the chute control box and chute support 
rod. Secure with the hairpin clip. See Figure 3D.

10. Slip the cables, running from the handle panel to 

the chute, into the cable guide located on top of the 
engine. See Figure 4 .

11. Slip the cables, running from the handle panel to 

the chute control box, into the cable guide too. See 
Figure 4.

12. The extension cord is fastened with a cable tie to 

the rear of the auger housing for shipping 
purposes. Cut the cable tie and remove it before 
operating the snow thrower.

After setting up your snow thrower, check the 
adjustments as instructed below and make any final 
adjustments necessary before operating the unit. 

CAUTION: Perform the following test before operating 
the snow thrower for the first time and at the start of 
each winter season. Failure to comply with these 
adjustment instructions may cause damage to the unit. 

1.

To check the adjustment of the auger control, push 
forward the left hand control until the rubber 
bumper is compressed. There should be slack in 
the cable. 

2.

Release the control. The cable should be straight. 
Make certain you can depress the auger control 
against the left handle completely.

Do not over-tighten the cable.

Over-tightening may prevent the auger from
disengaging and compromise the safety of the
snow thrower.

3.

In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower 
engine as instructed earlier in this section under the 
heading Starting Engine. Make sure the throttle is set 
in the FAST position. 

4.

While standing in the operator’s position (behind 
the snow thrower) engage the auger. 

5.

Allow the auger to remain engaged for 
approximately ten (10) seconds before releasing 
the auger control. Repeat this several times. 

6.

With the engine running in the FAST position and 
the auger control in the disengaged “up” position, 
walk to the front of the machine.

7.

Confirm that the auger has completely stopped 
rotating and shows NO signs of motion. 

 If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating, 

immediately return to the operator’s position and shut 
off the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop before 
readjusting the auger control cable.

8.

If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut and 
thread the cable in (for less slack) or out (for more 
slack). See Figure 5.

9.

Recheck the adjustment. Tighten jam nut against 
the cable when correct adjustment is reached.

1.

Tip the snow thrower forward so that it rests on the 
auger housing. 

2.

Move the shift lever all the way forward to the sixth 
(6) position. 

3.

With the drive control released, spin the snow 
thrower wheels by hand. The wheels should turn; 
however, you may feel some resistance. 

4.

Engage the drive control. The wheels should no 
longer turn.

5.

Now release the drive control and spin the wheels 
again. 

6.

Move the shift lever back to the fast reverse 
position and then all the way forward again. There 
should be no resistance in the shift lever and the 
wheels should turn.

7.

If you face resistance when moving the shift lever 
or the wheels stop when they should not, loosen 
the jam nut on the drive cable and unthread the 
cable one turn.
