Auger Control
WarnIng!
carefully read and follow all instructions below.
Perform all adjustments to verify your snow thrower
is operating safely and properly.
Check the adjustment of the auger control 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 Starting the Engine on page 16.
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 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 nut
on the auger cable bracket. Position the bracket upward
to provide more slack (or downward to increase cable
tension). See Fig. 3-16.
8.
Retighten the upper hex nut.
9.
Repeat steps 2-6 above to verify proper adjustment has
been achieved.
