NOTICE: Never replace the shear pins with standard pins or fasteners. Damage may occur to the snow
blower and drive systems.
DRIVE SPEED CONTROL ADJUSTMENT
The speed/gear control lever is connected to connection rod that work in tandem to control machine speed
and direction.
Depending on if the connection rod setting towards forward or reverse, adjustment of the connection rod
will vary.
To adjust the connection rod, two nuts should be moved up and down until there is a positive direction change
when the lever is shifted between F1 and R1. The middle position between these two settings is neutral (there is
no actual neutral "notched" position on the control panel).
1. With the engine running engage the drive control handle and move the speed control lever between 1 and R1
to determine which way the connection rod need to be adjusted. Release the drive control handle when
shifting between gears.
2. Loosen the jam nuts on connection rod (only one or two threads) and move upper and down nuts as required
until a positive direction change is achieved when the lever is shifted between F1 and R1. This may take
multiple attempts to find the exact setting.
3. Tighten the cable jam nuts once the proper setting has been achieved.
