2. Adjust equally on both sides by working on both cables. See Figure

Drive Control
Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the Assembly instructions to
adjust the drive control. To further check the adjustment, proceed as
follows:
1. With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to drain gasoline
or place plastic film under the gas cap if the snow thrower has
already been operated), remove the frame cover underneath the
snow thrower by removing the self-tapping screws. See Figure 18.
2. With the drive control released, there must be 1/8" clearance
between the friction wheel and the drive plate in all positions of the
shift lever.
3. With the drive control engaged, the friction wheel must contact the
drive plate. See Figure 21.
4. If adjustment is necessary, loosen the lower hex nut on the drive
cable index bracket and pivot the bracket upward or downward as
necessary. Refer to Figure 10 on page 9. Tighten the lower hex nut
to secure the bracket when correct adjustment is reached.
5. Reassemble the frame cover and turn the unit back to its operating
position.
NOTE: If you placed plastic under the gas cap, be certain to remove it
now.
