Align the hex shaft with the right hand bearing and
carefully guide the left hand bearing into the left
side of the housing.
Reassemble the drive cover with the four screws
that were earlier removed.
Note: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be
certain to remove it.
Augers
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. See Figure 28. If you hit
a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is
designed so that the bolts will shear. This type of nut is
used where vibration occurs.
If the augers do not turn, check to see if the bolts
have sheared. Two replacement shear bolts
(shown in Figure 28 inset ) and hex lock nuts have
been provided with the snow thrower. Since lock
nuts cannot be threaded onto a bolt by hand, use a
wrench. When replacing bolts, spray an oil lubricant
into shaft before inserting new bolts.

Adjustments
_
ARNING:
Never attempt to clean chute or
make any adjustments while engine is running.
Chute
Assembly
The distance that snow is thrown can be adjusted by
adjusting the angle of the chute assembly. Refer to the
Controls section of this manual.
The remote chute control cables have been pre-
adjusted at the factory. Move the remote chute
lever on the control panel back and forward to
adjust angle of the chute asssembly.
Skid Shoe
The space between the shave plate and the ground
can be adjusted. For close snow removal, place skid
shoes in the low position. Use middle or high position
when area to be cleared is uneven.
Adjust skid shoes by loosening the four hex nuts
and carriage bolts and moving skid shoes to
desired position.
Make certain the entire bottom surface of skid
shoe is against the ground to avoid uneven wear
on the skid shoes.
Retighten nuts and bolts securely.
NOTE: It is not recommended
that you operate this
snow thrower on gravel as loose gravel can be easily
picked up and thrown by the auger causing an injury or
damage to the snow thrower.
If for some reason, you have to operate the snow
thrower on gravel, keep the skid shoe in the
highest position for maximum clearance between
the ground and the shave plate.
Traction
Drive Clutch
Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the Set-Up
Instructions to adjust the traction drive clutch. To
check the adjustment, proceed as follows:
Drain gasoline or place plastic film under the gas
cap if the snow thrower has been operated.
With the snow thrower tipped forward, remove the
frame cover underneath the snow thrower by
removing the six self-tapping screws.
With the traction drive clutch released, there must
be clearance between the friction wheel and the
drive plate in all positions of the shift lever.
With the traction drive clutch engaged, the friction
wheel must contact the drive plate (shown in
Figure 25).
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the jam nut on
the traction drive cable and thread the cable in or
out as necessary. See Figure 29. 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 ft.
Auger Clutch
To adjust the auger clutch, refer to Final Adjustment
section of Assembly Instructions.
