WARNING: IMPROPER ADJUSTMENT
could result in death or serious injury. AUGER
BRAKE MUST DISENGAGE when clutch is
engaged. BRAKE MUST STOP AUGER
WITHIN 5 SECONDS of releasing auger
clutch bail.

4.7 ADJUST CLUTCH

For brake to function properly, there must ALWAYS be
some slight, noticeable slack in the control cable inner
wire when the impeller clutch bail is disengaged
(lowered position). This allows extension spring to pull
idler arm/brake, braking belt. Bail should travel 6-3/4 to
7-1/4" (17.1-18.4 cm) before contacting handlebars on
models 938006-938012, 938301, 938303. If brake
does not stop impeller within 5 seconds of releasing
impeller clutch bail, inner wire slack must be adjusted.
Models 938001-938009, 938301-931303
There should be 1/8" to 3/16" extension of cable spring
when clutch bail is held against handlebar.
Models 938010-938012
A properly adjusted clutch must extend control cable
Spring approximately 1/4 to 3/8" before clutch bail
contacts handlebar.
A properly adjusted clutch must show a noticeable
increase in resistance (caused by stretch of control
cable spring) before impeller clutch bail contacts
handlebar. As drive belt seats and wears, increase in
resistance will occur closer to handlebar contact. If no
resistance occurs, inner wire slack must be adjusted.

when the auger clutch is disengaged, but not so close
