The wheels may be adjusted for two different methods of operation. The adjustment is made by placing
the klick pins in one of two different holes on the right
side of the unit. See Figure 22.

TRACTION DRIVE CLUTCH
ADJUSTMENT
Refer to the Final Adjustment section of the Assembly Instructions to adjust the traction drive clutch. If
you are uncertain that you have reached the correct
adjustment,
the adjustment
can be physically
checked as follows.

One Wheel Driving--Place klick pin in the outside axle hole on the right side. This position
gives power drive to the left wheel only, making
the unit easier to maneuver.

Both Wheels Driving--Both
Wheels Driving-Rotate wheel assembly to align hole in hub with
inner hole on axle shaft. Insert klick pin in hole.
Outer axle shaft hole should be visible. This
position is good for heavy snow as there is
power to both wheels. See Figure 22.

With the snow thrower tipped forward (be certain to
drain the oil and gasoline or drain the oil and 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 six selftapping screws.
With the traction drive clutch released, there must be
clearance between the friction wheel and the drive
plate in all positions of the shift lever. With the traction
drive clutch engaged, the friction wheel must contact
the drive plate. See Figure 21.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the hex jam nut on
the traction drive cable and thread the cable in or out

10: MAINTENANCE

AUGERS

To remove skid shoes, remove the four carriage bolts,
bell washers and hex nuts which attach them to the
snow thrower. Reassemble new skid shoes with the
four carriage bolts, bell washers (cupped side goes
against skid shoes) and hex nuts. Make certain the
skid shoes are adjusted to be level.

The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. See Figure 24. If you
hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is
designed so that the hex bolts wilt shear.
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the bolts
have sheared. Two replacement shear bolts and hex
lock nuts have been provided with the snow thrower.
For future use, order part number 710-0890A (shear
bolt
5/16-18 x 1.5" long) and 712-0429 (hex insert
lock nut 5/16-18 thread).

To remove shave plate, remove the carriage bolts,
bell washers and hex nuts which attach it to the snow
thrower housing. Reassemble new shave plate, making sure heads of the carriage bolts are to the inside
of the housing. Tighten securely.

SHAVE PLATE AND SKID SHOES
