To adjust the auger control cable
Note: If you do not feel comfortable making this
adjustment yourself, please contact an authorized
service center. Adjustments can be needed if the
impeller and auger rotation is sluggish when engaging
the auger control lever, or if the auger belt has been
replaced.
1. Loosen the jam nuts (B) next to the turn buckle (A) to
adjust the cable tension in the auger control cable
(D).
A
2. Hold the short section and turn the long section.
Turn it 360 degrees.
3. Test the auger engagement. Repeat the adjustment
until only a small amount of tension remains in the
cable when the lever is disengaged.
4. Tighten the bottom jam nut to lock in the tension.
5. Ask an assistant to stand 10 feet / 3 meters in front
of the product, on the opposite side of the chute. The
assistant observes the rotation of the auger and
measures the time it takes for the auger to stop
rotating after the lever is released. If the auger stops
rotating after 5 seconds, adjust the cable by rotating
the center barrel 360 degrees, to contract the
adjuster. Test the auger engagement and measure
the stop time again. If the auger stops rotating in less
than 5 seconds, continue with the next step.
6. Tighten the jam nut on the auger cable.
Note: If the adjustment does not resolve the
problem, replace the auger belt. See
auger belt on page 20 .
