If there is slack in the traction cable, the left (traction) cable is not properly adjusted. To adjust the traction cable, do the following: 1. Loosen the jam nut (Figure 29). 2. Loosen or tighten the turnbuckle until the cable is taught. 3. Tighten the jam nut. g325789 Figure 27 1. Hex head adjustment bolts C. Ensure that the deflection of the track is approximately 9.5 mm (3/8 inch). D. Tighten the nuts on the rear roller yoke. E. Repeat for the other track.

*There is residual oil in the crankcase after you drain the oil. Do not pour the entire capacity of oil into the crankcase. Fill the crankcase with oil as directed in the following steps. 1. Move the machine to a level surface. 2. Clean the area around the oil-drain nut (Figure 35). g323263 Figure 33 3. Check the oil level using a suitable measuring device, such as a clean cable tie. The oil should be approximately 3.8 cm (1.5 inches) below the filler opening (Figure 34). g016496 Figure 35 1.

9. Wait 3 minutes for the oil to settle in the engine. 10. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth. 11. Insert the dipstick into the oil-fill tube and screw it in, then remove the dipstick. 12. Read the oil level on the dipstick. • If the oil level on the dipstick is too low, carefully pour a small amount of oil into the oil-fill tube, wait 3 minutes, and repeat steps 10 through 12 until the oil level on the dipstick is correct.

Replacing the Headlight Replace the headlight assembly (Toro part number 138-0670) when needed. 1. Remove the headlight wire from the back of the headlight (A of Figure 40). 2. Remove the bolt and nut holding the headlight assembly onto the headlight bracket and then remove the old headlight assembly (B of Figure 40). 3. Secure the new headlight assembly onto the headlight bracket with the previously removed nut and bolt (C of Figure 40). 4.

Troubleshooting Problem The electric starter does not turn (electric-start models only). The engine does not start or starts hard. Possible Cause 1. The power cord is disconnected at the outlet or the machine. 1. Connect the power cord to the outlet and/or the machine. 2. The power cord is worn, corroded, or damaged. 3. The power outlet is not energized. 2. Replace the power cord. 3. Have a qualified electrician energize the outlet. 1. The key is not in the ignition. 1.
PAGE 25
Problem The engine runs, but the machine discharges snow poorly or not at all. Possible Cause Corrective Action 1. The throttle is not in the FAST position when throwing snow. 1. Move the throttle to the FAST position. 2. The machine is moving too fast to clear the snow. 3. You are trying to remove too much snow per swath. 4. You are trying to remove extremely heavy or wet snow. 5. The discharge chute is plugged. 6. The auger/impeller drive belt is loose or is off the pulley. 2.
