5-3.3 Drive Clutch Adjustment.
1. Unhook spring at the lower end of engagement
rod from drive bracket. See Figure 5-23.
2. Adjust nut on engagement rod until hook is
aligned with center of hole in drive bracket.
3. Hook spring into drive bracket. (Spring should
be loose.)
4. Engage clutch grip. The spring should tighten
and bracket should raise. The bracket in the
raised position engages the drive to the
wheels.
5-3.4 Auger Clutch Adjustment.
1. Remove belt cover which is held in place with
four self-tapping screws.
2. Locate brake linkage assembly (bracket with
slot). See Figure 5-24.
3. Squeeze auger clutch grip all the way down
against handle and check the position of brake
linkage. It should be against idler pulley. If nec-
essary, adjust ferrule on end of auger rod until
the slot on brake linkage is over against idler
pulley with auger clutch grip all the way down
against handle. See Figure 5-25
4. Secure ferrule to auger level with flat washer
and hairpin cotter.
5. Replace belt cover using four self-tapping
screws. Be careful not to overtighten self-tap-
ping screws to prevent stripping.
5-3.5 Drive System. The drive system on this unit is
similar to the drive system used on Models
600, 800 and 960 snow throwers. However,
this drive system is not as complex as on the
other models and therefore requires fewer
moving parts. See Figure 5-26.
