Adjusting the Auger Control Cable
DANGER
The discharge chute contains a rotating auger to throw snow.
Fingers or feet can quickly become caught in the auger
resulting in traumatic amputation or severe laceration.
• Over-tightening the auger cable may cause the auger to
rotate even if the auger control lever is not pressed down.
The auger should rotate only when the auger control is engaged
and must stop within 5 seconds when the auger control is
released. If the auger does not rotate or does not stop as
described, adjust the control cable or contact an authorized
service dealer to adjust the control cable.
1. Shut OFF the engine and remove the ignition key or the
Push/Pull key.
2. Lift the cable cover (A, Figure 10) to expose the adjustment
loops (B) and the cable end fitting (C).

engaged, shorten the control cable by installing the end
fitting in the next highest loop (increase belt tension).
Note: Some slack must remain in the cable when the auger
control is not engaged.
