SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
TO ADJUST DRIVE ENGAGEMENT CABLE TENSION
(See Fig. 24)
After many hours of use, if first gear seems to slip or seems
too slow, adjustments may need to be made to the Drive
Engagement cable tension to shorten the length.
To adjust the Drive Engagement cable:
1. Adjust cable tension by loosening the jam nut, next to
the turn buckle.
2. Grasp the short section and hold, while turning the long
section to lengthen the adjuster.
3. Turn the long section two turns and tighten jam nut.
4. Test the first gear drive speed.
If first gear appears to be too slow or slipping, repeat this
procedure.
CAUTION: Do NOT adjust auger control cable
tension. The auger cable is set at the factory.
Any adjustment by the consumer may create
an unsafe machine condition. If you feel the
cable needs to be adjustment, please contact
an authorized service center/department.
