Auger Cable Adjustment - Simplicity 1695875 Operator's Manual

Maintenance

Auger Cable Adjustment

Do not over-tighten, as this may lift the lever and cause the
auger drive to be engaged without depressing the auger drive
control.
The auger must stop within 5 seconds after releasing the
control. If it does not, see an authorized dealer.
If the auger no longer turns when the control is engaged,
or if the belt slips under load, the auger cable or belt may
have stretched. This can be compensated for by adjusting
the auger cable. If the belt is too worn or broken, see your
authorized dealer for repair.
NOTICE: The auger must not turn unless the auger control
is engaged. The auger must disengage within 5 seconds
after the auger control is released. If it does not, see your
authorized dealer before further use.
Inspection
1. Start the engine.
2. Engage the auger control. The auger should turn.
3. Release the auger control. The auger should stop within
5 seconds.
If the auger does not turn or stop as indicated above,
perform the adjustment procedure, or take the unit to your
local authorized dealer for repair.
Adjustment
1. Turn off the engine and remove the key. Wait for all
moving parts to stop.
2. Slide the cable cover (A, Figure 15) up to expose the
cable adjustment loops (B) and Z-bend (C).
3. Disengage the cable Z-bend from the cable loops, and
install it in the next highest loop to increase belt tension.
Slide the cable boot back into place.
NOTE: There must be some slack in the cable when the
