Wheel drive control
Refer to the Adjustment section of the Assembly instructions to adjust the wheel
drive control. To further check the adjustment, proceed as follows:
1. With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to run the fuel tank dry
before tipping the unit forward), remove the frame cover underneath the
snow thrower by removing the self-tapping screws. See Figure 27.
2. Locate the opening between the axle support bracket and the front frame
support (See Figure 28). Looking through this opening, with the wheel drive
control released, there must be clearance between the friction wheel and
the drive plate in all positions of the speed selector lever.
3. With the wheel drive control engaged, the friction wheel must contact the
drive plate. See Figure 28.
