assembly or maintenance to the
snow thrower, remove the wire
from the spark plug.
NOTE: In this instruction book, left and right
describe the location of a pert from the oper-
ator's position behind the unit.
NOTE: Torque is measured in foot pounds
(metric N.m). This measurement describes
how tight a nut or bolt must be. The torque is
measured with a torque wrench.
NOTE: Illustrations begin on page 2.
NOTE: Fasteners and loose parts are shown
at full size in Figure 35.

thrower off the pallet.
CAUTION: DO NOT back over cables.
8. Remove the packing material from the han-
dle assembly.
9. Cut the ties that secure the clutch control
cables (1) to the lower handle (2). Move the
cables away from the motor frame.
How To Assemble The Handle And
Crank Assembly

fasteners (1) in the upper holes of the lower
handle.
2. Remove the fasteners and the crank assem-
bly eyebolt (11) from the lower holes of the
lower handle.

NOTE: Make sure the cables are not
caught between the upper and lower han-
dle.
5. Install the fasteners and the crank aseembly
eyebelt (11) that were removed in step 2.
DO NOT tighten until all fasteners are in
place,
6. (Figure 5) Attach the crank rod (15) to the
universal joint assembly (16) with the hair
pin (12).
7. (Figure 3) Tighten nut on eye bolt (11).
Make sure eye belt (11) is properly aligned
and the crank (18) can freely rotate.
8. Tighten ell handle fasteners.
How To Install The Speed Control Rod
1. (Figure 4) Attach the speed control rod (1)
to the speed select bracket (2) with flat-
washer (3) and cotter pin (4).
2. Put the speed select lever (5) into the sixth
gear position.
3. (Figure 8) Rotate the shift yoke assembly
(6) counterclockwise (down) until it stops.
4. The length at the trunnion nut (7) and
speed control rod (1) have been
pre-adjusted at the factory. If an adjustment
is required, loosen the jam nut (12). To
lengthen or shorten the speed control rod
(1), turn the trunnion nut (7) to obtain the
correct length. Tighten the jam nut (12).
5. Align the trunnion nut (7) with the hole in
the shift yoke assembly (6). Fasten with
washer (8) and cotter pin (9).
6. (Figure 4) Mount the hex jam nut (10) onto

How To Set The Skid Height (Figure 2)
The snow thrower is equipped with height ed-
justable skids (7) mounted on the outside of the
auger housing (4). To adjust the height of the
skids, see "How To Adjust The Height Of The
Skids" in the Maintenance section.
How To Set The Length Of The Cables
The cables were adjusted at the factory and no
adjustments should be necessary. However. af-
ter the handles are put in the operating position,
the cables can be too tight or too loose. If an
adjustment is necessary, see "How To Check
And Adjust The Cables" in the Service And Ad-
justment section.

factory filled with oil. Cheek the level of the
oil. Add oil as needed.
_lk WARNING: Followthe engine
manufacturer's instructions for the
type of fuel and oil to use. Always
