319 Single Stage Snowthrower
Auger Control Cable
Adjustment
Inspection
1. Inspect the auger cable for kinks, wear, or frayed
cable strands. Replace if worn or damaged.
2. Start the engine.
3. Engage the auger control for 5 seconds.
4. Disengage the auger control. The auger should stop
in 5 seconds or less. If not, perform the auger control
adjustment.
Adjustment
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. With the auger control disengaged, measure the
length of the cable spring (A, Figure 4).
3. Engage the auger control and measure the length of
the expanded cable spring (A, Figure 5).
The cable spring should be stretched 1/2"-3/4"
(1.3cm-1.9cm) when the auger control is engaged. If
not, proceed to step 4.
4. Loosen the jam nut (B, Figure 4) at the upper end of
the cable. Hold the threaded end of the cable and
turn the cable clockwise until the desired extension is
achieved. Retighten the jam nut and repeat steps 2-
3.
If the cable sheath cannot be adjusted to achieve
1/2"-3/4" (1.3cm-1.9cm) of spring deflection, the
auger belt idler pulley can be adjusted. See the fol-
lowing section.
WARNING
DO NOT over-tighten the cable. The control
cable must have some slack when in the
disengaged position for the auger brake to
function properly. If the auger does not stop
within 5 seconds of the auger control being
released, see your dealer.
