•
Tighten all loose hardware on the handle
assembly in the following order — first the hex
bolts at the bottom of the handle, then the
carriage bolts and lastly the hex bolts on the rear
of the handle panel.
Attaching Clutch Cables
The clutch control cables are attached to the snow
thrower. If the cables are attached to the top of the
engine with cable ties, cut the cable ties now. The Z
ends of the clutch cables are hooked into the clutch
grips on each handle.
•
Ensure there is a hex jam nut threaded all the
way up the threaded portion of the Z fitting;
extras are supplied in the hardware pack. See
Figure 10.
•
Place the clutch grip in the raised (up) position.
Figure 10
•
Swing the left auger up making sure the cable is
routed correctly in the cable roller guides located
at the lower rear of the unit.
•
Hold the end of the cable at the barrel so the
ferrule turns freely without twisting the cable.
Thread the ferrule on to the Z fitting. You may
have to pull on the cable slightly to relieve
tension. Keep the ferrule turning without twisting
the cable.
•
You will reach correct adjustment when there is
minimal slack in the cable but it is not tight. Hold
the flats on the ferrule with pliers and tighten the
jam nut against the ferrule.
CAUTION: Cables will become loose if you do not
tighten the jam nut.

WARNING: There must not be any tension
on either clutch cable with the drive or auger
clutch grip in the disengaged (up) position.
These clutches are a safety feature. Do not
override their function by allowing tension
on either cable with the clutches disengaged.
Attaching Shift Rod
•
Place the shift lever in the sixth (6) speed.
•
Place the bent end of the shift rod into the hole in
the shift arm assembly. See Figure 11. Secure with
5/16 flat washer and hairpin clip from the hardware
pack (group D on page 5).
•
Start threading the ferrule (included in the same
group in the hardware pack) onto the other end of
the shift rod. It has to line up with the upper hole
in the shift lever (beneath the handle panel).
While aligning the ferrule, push down on the shift
rod and the shift arm assembly as far as it will go.
•
Once the ferrule slides into the hole, turn it
counter-clockwise one more full turn and insert it
in the hole in the shift lever.
Figure 11
NOTE: It may be necessary to pull the shift lever out of
the sixth speed position and move it towards the fifth
speed position until the ferrule slides into the hole
without force.
•
Secure the ferrule to the shift lever with another
5/16 flat washer and hairpin clip from group D of
the hardware pack. See Figure 11.
•
Make certain to check for correct adjustment of
the shift rod as instructed in the Adjustment
section before operating the snow thrower.
