3.
Adjust flange lock nut up or down on traction
control rod until the distance between the top of
the handgrip and the bottom of the traction
control lever (Fig. 20) is approximately
five inches (Fig. 10). This is a preliminary
setting only.
4.
Move speed selector (Fig. 20) into fifth gear.
5.
Slowly pull machine backward while slowly
depressing traction control lever toward handle.
Adjustment is correct when wheels stop turning
and the distance between the top of the handgrip
and the bottom of the traction control lever is
three to four inches (Fig. 10). Readjust flange
lock nut, if necessary, to obtain this dimension
and then tighten flange lock nut securely.
Install Auger/Impeller Drive
Control Linkage
1.
Thread a hex flange nut (flange side down) onto
upper control rod located on right handle
(Fig. 11).
2.
Install lower link through outer hole in lower
control rod (Fig. 11).
3.
Insert upper control rod through loop in lower
link control rod (Fig. 11).
4.
Thread a flange lock nut (flange side up) onto
bottom of upper control rod below loop in lower
link (Fig. 11).
5.
Check the distance between the top of the
handgrip and the bottom of the auger/impeller
control lever (Fig. 20). Distance should be
approximately four inches (Fig. 12). This is a
preliminary setting only.
6.
Compress auger/impeller control lever slowly
toward handgrip. The amount of force to
compress the lever will increase noticeably when
slack is removed from the drive belt
(approximately one-half of lever movement).
Adjustment is correct when the force begins to
increase and the distance between the top of the
handgrip and the bottom of the auger/impeller
control lever is two inches.
Note:
If force does not noticeably increase,
remove the belt cover (refer to
Replacing Auger/ Impeller Drive Belt,
steps 1-2, page 18) and measure the
one to two inch dimension above the
handgrip at the point where the slack is
removed from the auger drive belt.
7.
Readjust the two nuts, if necessary, to obtain this
dimension then tighten the two nuts securely
(Fig. 11).
Install Discharge Chute
(Fig. 13)
Note:
Before installing discharge chute,
apply a light coat of low temperature
grease to chute ring.
1.
Set discharge chute—open side forward—onto
auger discharge opening, so plastic chute
retainers are positioned on chute ring. Make sure
chute retainer guide pins are inserted into holes
in chute gear.
2.
Tighten machine screw and lock nut, on left side,
until chute retainer plate is positioned against
plastic chute retainer and discharge chute is
secured to chute ring.
3.
Push chute retainers, on right side, toward
discharge chute (slotted) and tighten machine
screw.
4.
Make sure chute rotates freely on ring. If chute
binds, move right hand retainer outward to ease
operation.
