MTD L-Style Manuel D’Utilisation

Never attempt to make any

adjustments while the engine is running,
except where specified in operator’s manual.

If the full range of speeds (forward and reverse) cannot 
be achieved, refer to the figures marked 1,2, and 3 to 
the right and adjust the shift rod as follows:

1.

Place the shift lever in the fastest forward speed 
position. Remove the hairpin clip which secures the 
ferrule to the shift lever.

2.

Rotate the shift arm counter-clockwise as far as it 
will go. 

3.

Thread the ferrule up or down the shift rod until it 
aligns with the hole in the shift lever behind the 
handle panel. Resecure the ferrule with the hairpin 
clip removed earlier.

•

Before operating, check tire pressure and reduce 
pressure to between 15 psi and 20 psi. 

The distance snow is thrown can be adjusted by 
changing the angle of the chute assembly. To do so, 
stop the engine by removing the ignition key and loosen 
the plastic wing knob found on the left side of the chute 
assembly. Pivot the chute upward or downward before 
re-tightening the wing knob. See Figure 3.

If the upper chute does not have full range upward-and-
downward, the joy-stick cables can be adjusted to take 
up slack. See Figure 4.

•

Using a ½” wrench, loosen the upper and lower hex 
nuts found on one cable adjuster.

•

Grasp the metal cable housing and gently push 
upward to take up slack (usually no more than 1/4-
inch) in the cable before retightening both hex nuts.

•

Repeat on each of two cable adjusters until the 
upper chute has full range in both directions.
