Pivot shift bracket downward as far as it
will go. See Figure 4-8.

Rotate ferrule up or down on shift rod
as necessary until it lines up with upper
hole in shift lever. Refer to Figure 4-7
inset.
5.
Insert the ferrule into the upper hole
and secure with the washer and cotter
pin.
Shift Cable (If Equipped)
If full range of speeds (forward and reverse)
cannot be achieved use the mounting holes
in the index bracket to adjust the shift cable
tension as follows:
1.
Place shift lever in fastest forward speed
position.
1.
Lift the shift cable index bracket (a) up
to create slack in the cable (b) See Figure
4-9.

Select new mounting hole and reinsert
Z fitting into the index bracket.
Using the upper mounting holes will
loosen the shift cable. Using the lower
(a)
mounting holes will tighten the shift
cable.
(b)
4.
Reinsert the Z fitting into the index
bracket.
5.
To ensure proper shift cable tension
perform the following:
a.
Start the engine and place the shift
lever in the slowest forward speed.
Using the drive control, ensure the
unit moves forward.
b.
Place the shift lever in the slowest
reverse speed. Using the drive
control, ensure the unit moves in
reverse.
c.
If necessary continue to adjust
cable until the conditions in Steps
a and b are satisfied.
Auger Control
Refer to Auger Control on page 12 for
instructions on adjusting auger control cable.
Skid Shoes
Refer to Assembly & Set-up section (page 12)
for instructions on adjusting skid shoes.
Drive Control Lever
When drive control lever is released and in
disengaged "UP" position, cable should have
very little slack. It should NOT be tight.
NOTE: If excessive slack is present in drive
cable or if unit's drive is disengaging
intermittently during operation, the cable may
be in need of adjustment.
Check adjustment of drive control lever as
follows:
1.
With drive control lever released, push
unit gently forward. It should roll freely.
2.
Engage drive control lever and gently
attempt to push the unit forward. The
wheels should not turn. The unit should
not roll freely.
3.
If equipped with a shift lever, with drive
control lever released, move shift lever
back and forth between the R2 position
and the F6 position several times. There
should be no resistance in the shift lever.
If any of the above tests failed, the drive cable
is in need of adjustment. Proceed as follows:
(a)
1.
Shut OFF engine. Refer to the Engine
Operator's Manual.
2.
Loosen lower hex screw (a) on drive
cable bracket. See Figure 4-10.

3.
Position bracket upward to provide
more slack (or downward to increase
cable tension).
4.
Retighten upper hex screw.
5.
Check adjustment of drive control lever
as described above to verify proper
adjustment has been achieved.
Chute Control Rod (Two Way & Four Way
Chute Control) (If Equipped)
To adjust chute control rod for increased
engagement into the handle panel control,
proceed as follows:
1.
Remove hairpin clip (a) from hole closest
to chute assembly on chute rotation
assembly.
2.
Pull out chute control rod until hole in
it lines up with second hole in chute
rotation assembly. See Figure 4-11.
(a)
Figure 4-11
3.
Reinsert hairpin clip (a) through this hole
and chute control rod.
Chute Assembly (Overhead Chute Control)
(If Equipped)
If chute fails to remain stationary during
operation, pre-load of chute can be adjusted
by tightening hex nut found on front of chute
control assembly.
1.
To increase preload, tighten
hex nut (a) clockwise in ¼ turn intervals.
