5-6. 28-INCH SNOW THROWERS MODELS 840
AND 850 (See Figure 5-51).
5-6.1 Drive and Auger Clutch Adjustments.
Adjust drive and auger clutch as follows:
NOTE
The lockout rods are labeled L and R for the
left and right hand sides of the unit.
1. Approximate initial settings for the lockout rods
are as follows: the left hand lockout rod for the
drive clutch should have approximately 1-1/2
inches of thread showing below the nut. The
right hand lockout rod for auger clutch should
have approximately 1/4 inch of thread showing
below the nut.
2. If 1/4 inch of thread is not showing below the
nut, adjust nut on lockout rod by sliding spring
up. Use a 7/16 inch wrench to move nut on the
end of rod up or down as necessary until the
hook on the spring aligns with the center of the
hole in the bracket. See Figure 5-54.
3. If left hand lockout rod is not adjusted correctly,
shift lever cannot be shifted past neutral. If
right hand lockout rod is not adjusted correctly,
augers will not stop rotating. Readjust as nec-
essary.
CAUTION
There must not be any tension on either clutch
rod spring with the drive or auger clutch grip in
the disengaged (up) position. These clutches
are a safety feature and their function can be
overridden if there is tension on either spring
with the clutches disengaged.
