A - Indicator, Yellow

B - Adjusting Bolt


  1. Lower snowblower.

  2. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY section).

  3. Make sure yellow indicator (A) at front of lift assist spring is aligned with proper mark for snowblower model. If not, adjust lift assist spring so indicator is aligned with correct mark on decal.

  4. Turn adjusting bolt (B) in right front frame tunnel to adjust lift assist spring:

    • Clockwise - Increases spring tension and moves indicator toward front of machine. This will reduce lift pedal effort.
    • Counterclockwise - Decreases spring tension and moves indicator toward rear of machine.

    Too much spring tension may cause snowblower to “float” too easily, reducing effectiveness.
