Adjusting the Auger and Traction Cable
DANGER
The snowthrower contains a rotating auger and impeller
to throw snow. Fingers or feet can quickly become caught
in the rotating auger or impeller resulting in traumatic
amputation or severe laceration.
Over-tightening the auger cable can cause the auger
to rotate even if the auger control lever is not pushed
down.
Turn the engine OFF, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove the ignition key or push/pull key before
maintenance or repairs.
1. Turn the engine OFF and remove the ignition key or
push/pull key.
2. Use a wrench to hold stationary the adjuster tube (A,
Figure27). Use another wrench to loosen the jam nut
(B).
3. Turn the adjuster tube clockwise or counterclockwise to
get a 0.060" (1.5 mm) clearance between the spring (C)
and the cable loop (D). 
4. Use a wrench to hold stationary the adjuster tube. Use
another wrench to tighten the jam nut.
5. Check the clearance between the spring and the cable
loop. If the clearance changed, repeat steps 2 through
5 until you get a 0.60" (1.5 mm) clearance between the
spring and the cable loop.

throws snow. Fingers or feet can quickly become caught in
the auger or impeller that can result in traumatic amputation
or severe laceration.
Turn the engine OFF. Wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove the ignition key or push/pull key before
maintenance or repairs.
The steering control cable can stretch slightly after repeated
usage during the first season of operation. If the cable has
stretched, it can prevent the drive gears from disengaging
while the control activates.
1. Turn the engine OFF and remove the ignition key or
push/pull key.
2. With both steering control levers released, rock the unit
back and forth so that both wheels are engaged (not free-
wheeling).
3. Lift the adjuster cover (A, Figure28) up and away from
the adjuster.
4. Use a wrench to hold stationary the adjuster tube (B).
Use another wrench to loosen the jam nut.
5. Push the steering control lever down until it stops.
6. Turn the adjuster clockwise or counterclockwise to get
a small amount of play in the lever before the steering
control operates.
7. Use a wrench to hold stationary the adjuster tube. Use
another wrench to tighten the jam nut.
8. Lower the adjuster cover onto the adjuster.
9. Do the same procedure for the other steering control
cable.

Checking Tire Pressure
Tire pressure should be checked periodically. Recommended
tire pressure varies by tire manufacturer. A good rule of
thumb is to inflate the tire up to, but not exceeding, the “Max
Inflation” stamped on the sidewall of the tire.

Engine power will decrease 3.5% for every 1,000 feet (300 meters) above sea level and 1% for every 10 degrees F (5.6 degrees C) above 77 Degrees F
(25 Degrees C). The engine will operate satisfactorily at an angle up to 15 degrees.
Power Ratings
The gross power rating for individual gasoline engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive
Engineers) code J1940 Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure, and is rated in accordance with SAE J1995. Torque
values are derived at 2600 RPM for those engines with “rpm” called out on the label and 3060 RPM for all others; horsepower
values are derived at 3600 RPM. The gross power curves can be viewed at www.BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM. Net power
values are taken with exhaust and air cleaner installed whereas gross power values are collected without these attachments.
Actual gross engine power will be higher than net engine power and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating
conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given the wide array of products on which engines are placed, the gasoline engine
may not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment. This difference is due to a variety
of factors including, but not limited to, the variety of engine components (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor,
