Transmission, auger and clutch control adjustments
Checking the gear controls
Follow these procedures:
1. With the engine off, move the gear lever to the highest gear (4th).
Release the drive clutch lever. The blower should now be in neutral
and free to move in both directions.
2. Depress the drive clutch lever. The blower should now be unable to
be moved forwards or backwards.
3. Release the drive clutch – you should now be able to move
the blower back and forwards freely again.
4. Move the gear lever to one end (reverse 2nd gear) and then to
the other (4th gear). You should feel no resistance in the lever and
the blower should be freely movable regardless of which gear it is in.
Adjusting the gear lever wire
The gear lever has two wires, one for each direction. Make sure that
all the gears work and that the gear lever can be easily moved to its end
points (4th forward gear and 2nd reverse gear). If adjustment is necessary,
undo the lock nut and turn the adjusting screw on one of the wires.
When one wire is lengthened the other one should be shortened by
the same amount to compensate.
Auger drive control
Adjusting the auger drive clutch wire:
1. Pull up the dust boot over the wire connector plate.
2. Pull up on the bottom wire to increase wire slack in the upper wire
enabling you to remove the hook.
3. Turn the plate over and begin working the s-hook loose from the plate.
4. Pull the wire taut and insert the hook down a notch on the plate.
5. Start the engine, check performance and adjust if necessary.
Note: If the auger does not turn when engaged then the amount of
free play in the wire is too great. Move the s-hook to a hole further down
the plate if needed.
Drive wheel clutch
Adjusting the drive wheel clutch wire:
1. If the blower has a tendency to move forward even though the clutch lever is not depressed, then the wire is
too taut. Adjust the wire so that there is some free play in it using the same procedure used for adjusting the
auger control wire described above.
2. If the blower does not move forward when the clutch lever is depressed, then the wire is too loose.
Tighten the wire by moving the s-hook down a notch on the plate as described above.
3. Test the clutch and adjust accordingly.
Cleaning and inspection
• Use the cleaning tool to remove any snow or ice clogged in the chute or around the auger.
Never use your hands!
• Inspect regularly to make sure that all bolts, nuts and screws are tight and that there is no visible damage.
• The scraper blade and skid shoes will become worn with time and will need to be replaced.
Use only original parts or parts approved by the retailer.
• Regularly check the fuel system for any visible signs of leakage at the tank, fuel cap or fuel lines.
• Never attempt to tamper with or modify the product in any way.
