SPEED CONTROL ROD ADJUSTMENT

If the speed control rod (A A , Figure 28) requires adjustment, see an author-
ized dealer for assistance.

CHECK AND ADJUST THE CABLES

The cables are adjusted at the factory and no adjustment should be neces-
sary. If the cables have become stretched or are sagging adjustment will be
necessary.
Whenever belts are adjusted or replaced, the cables will need to be ad-
justed.

AUGER CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: Do not over-tighten, as this may lift the
lever and cause the auger drive to be engaged with-
out depressing the auger drive control.
1. With the auger drive control lever released, the hook (A A , Figure 29)
should barely touch the lever (B B ) without raising it. There can be a
maximum of 1/32" (0.8 mm) clearance.
2. To adjust, loosen the nut (C C ) by holding the adjusting flats (D D ) and
turning the nut. Then, turn the adjusting flats and hold the adjust-
ment screw (E E ). The adjustment screw is a phillips screw and the
head can be held or turned by inserting a screwdriver through the
spring (F F ).
3. Hold the adjusting flats and tighten the nut.
4. Start the engine and check the auger. The auger must not be engaged
unless the auger drive control lever is depressed.
5. With the engine running, fully depress the auger drive control lever.
The auger should engage and run normally.
6. Release the auger drive control lever. T T he auger must stop within 5
seconds.
7. If the auger does not operate properly, stop the engine and recheck
the auger drive cable adjustment.
8. If the drive linkage is properly adjusted, the tension of the auger drive
belt may require an adjustment (see "Belt Adjustment" section).
