AUGER CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENT

WARNING: Do not over-tighten, as this may lift the
lever and cause the auger drive to be engaged
without depressing the auger drive control.

should barely touch the lever (B) without raising it. There can
be a maximum of 1/32 in. (0.8 mm) clearance.
2. To adjust, loosen the nut (C) by holding the adjusting flats (D)
and turning the nut. Then, turn the adjusting flats and hold the
adjustment screw (E). The adjustment screw is a phillips screw
and the head can be held or turned by inserting a screwdriver
through the spring (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 control lever is depressed.
5. With the engine running, fully depress the auger drive control
lever. The auger should engage and run normally.
