TO ADJUST TRACK
If the snowthrowerdoes not moveforward evenly and the
trad< slips slightly, you need to check the track, as
follows:
• Measure the distance between the top of the side
plate and the inside of the track. The distance
should not be more than two (2) inches.
If the distance is greater, you need to adjust the track, as
follows:
• Loosen the bolls (A) (See Fig. 35) on both sides of
the track assembly,
• Turn the cam washers equally on both sides.
• Adjust the track to reduce slack, so that the distance
between the top of the side plate and the inside of
the track is not greater than two (2) inches. Be sure
the cam washers are adjusted evenly or the track
will be twisted (See Fig. 36). If the track becomes
twisted, readjust the cam washers to the correct ad­
justment.
