• Place the eyebolt into the hole located half way up
the left handle. Secure with cupped washer
(cupped side against the handle, see insert, Figure
10) and hex nut.
• Adjust the chute directional control support bracket
(see Figure 9) so that the spiral on the chute
directional control fully engages the teeth on the
chute assembly. Tighten the nuts on the chute
directional control bracket securely. Tighten the hex
nuts on the eyebolt.
• Check to make sure all nuts and bolts on the control
panel and all four bolts which secure the handles to
the frame are tight.
Lamp wiring
(Models E645 and E665 only)
Wrap the wire from the lamp down the right handle
until the wire can be plugged into the alternator lead
wire under the fuel tank. Be sure the lamp wire does
not interfere with the movement of any controls or
cables.

Auger control clutch
To check the adjustment of the auger control clutch,
push forward on the left hand clutch grip (depress the
rubber bumper). There should be slack in the cable.
Release the clutch grip. The cable should be straight.
Make certain you can depress the auger control clutch
grip against the left handle completely.
If necessary, loosen the hex lock nut and thread the
cable in (for less slack) or out (for more slack) as
necessary. Refer to Figure 12. Recheck the
adjustment.
Tighten the lock nut against the cable when correct
adjustment is reached.

adjustment
To check the adjustment of the traction control clutch
and shift lever, move the shift lever all the way over to
fifth (5) position. With the traction control lever
released, push the snow thrower forward. The unit
should move forward freely. Then engage the traction
control clutch grip. The wheels should stop turning.
Now release the traction control clutch grip, and push
the unit again. Move the shift lever back to the fast
reverse position, then all the way over again. There
should be no resistance in the shift lever, and the and
the wheels should keep turning
If you have resistance when moving the shift lever or
the wheels stop when they should not, loosen the jam
nut on the traction control cable and unthread the
cable one turn. If the wheels do not stop when you
engage the traction control clutch grip, loosen the jam
nut on the traction control cable and thread the cable
in one turn. Recheck the adjustment and repeat as
necessary. Tighten the jam nut to secure the cable
when correct adjustment is reached.
