Auger Control
WARNING!
Prior to operating your snow thrower,
carefully read and follow all instructions below.
Perform all adjustments to verify your snow thrower
is operating safely and properly.
Refer to the Controls and Features section for the location of the
auger control and check the adjustment as follows:
1. When the auger control is released and in the disengaged
"up" position, the cable should have very little slack. It
should NOT be tight.
2. In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine.
Refer to Engine Operator's Manual.
3. While standing in the operator's position (behind the snow
thrower), engage the auger.
4. Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten
(10) seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this
several times.
5. With the throttle control in the FAST (rabbit) position and
the auger control in the disengaged "up" position, walk to
the front of the machine.
6. Confirm that the auger has completely stopped rotating
and shows NO signs of motion. If the auger shows ANY
signs of rotating, immediately return to the operator's
position and shut off the engine. Wait for ALL moving parts
to stop before re-adjusting the auger control.
7. To readjust the control cable, loosen the upper hex screw
on the auger cable bracket. See Figure 3-23.
Figure 3-23
8. Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or
downward to increase cable tension).
9. Retighten the upper hex screw.
10. Repeat steps 2 through 6 above to verify proper
adjustment has been achieved.
