Auger Control Test
WARNING!
Prior to operating your
unit, carefully read and follow all
instructions below. Perform all
adjustments to verify your
equipment is operating safely and
properly.
Refer to Controls & Operation section (page 8)
for the location of auger control lever and check
adjustment as follows:
1.
When auger control lever is released and
in 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 your Engine
Operator's Manual.
3.
While standing in the operator's position
(behind the unit), depress the auger
control lever to engage auger.
4.
Allow auger to remain engaged for
approximately ten (10) seconds before
releasing auger control lever. Repeat this
several times.
5.
With auger control lever in disengaged
"UP" position, walk to front of machine.
6.
Confirm that auger has completely
stopped rotating and shows NO signs
of motion. If auger shows ANY signs of
rotating, immediately return to operator's
position and shut OFF engine. Wait for ALL
moving parts to stop before readjusting
auger control lever.
7.
To readjust the auger control cable, loosen
upper hex screw (a) on auger control
bracket. See Figure 2-14.
8.
Position bracket upward to provide more
slack (or downward to increase cable
tension). See Figure 2-14. Retighten upper
hex screw (a).
9.
Repeat Steps 2 through 6 to verify proper
adjustment has been achieved.
