the handle.
Attach rear of handle panel with two 1/4-20 hex

ATTACHING THE CLUTCH CABLES
The Z ends of the clutch cables are h_3oked into the
clutch grips on each handle.
Lift the black plastic belt cover from the front of the en-
gine (shipped loose in position). Refer to figure 4.
Remove the two self-tapping screws from the en-
gine frame that will be used to install the cover.
Check and make sure that the cable is in the
groove of the two cable guide rollers.
Attach cables as follows.
• Thread the hex nuts all the way up the threaded
portion of the Z ends of the clutch cables.
Place the clutch grip in the raised (up) position.
• Thread the cable onto the threaded portion of the
Z until there is no slack in the cable, but the cable
is NOT tight. Do not overtighten cable.
Squeeze the auger control lever against the handle
and make sure that the belts are tightening
When correct adjustment is reached, tighten the
hex nut against the bottom portion of the cable to
lock it in position. Use pliers and 3/8" wrench to
lock the hex nut.
• Tighten traction drive control cable in the same
manner.
Place belt cover in position and secure with self-
tapping screws that you had earlier removed.
WARNING: If there is tension on the cable when the
clutch grip is released, the safety features of the snow

ATTACHING THE SHIFT ROD
• Place the shift lever in the sixth (6) speed position.
• Place the bent end of the shift rod into the hole in
the shift arm assembly. See figure 5. Secure with
spring washer, 5/16 flat washer and hairpin clip.
Start threading the ferrule onto the other end of the
shift rod. Push down on the shift rod (and the shift
arm assembly) as far as it will go.
Thread the ferrule onto the shift rod until the ferrule
lines up with the upper hole in the shift lever
(beneath the handle panel). Once the ferrule slides
into the hole, turn it counterclockwise
one more full
turn and insert it in the hole in shift lever.
NOTE: It may be necessary to puff the shift lever out of
the sixth speed position and move it towards the fifth
speed position until the ferrule slides into the hole
without force.
Insert the ferrule into the upper hole in the shift
lever from the right side when adjustment is cor-
rect. Secure with 5/16 flat washer and hairpin clip.
