AUGER CONTROL ADJUSTMENTInspection WARNING

Before beginning any repair stop the engine, remove the key, disconnect the spark plug wire, and wait for all moving parts to stop.

AUGER CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

Inspection

1.Inspect the auger cable for kinks, wear, or frayed cable strands. Replace if worn or damaged.

2.Start the engine.

3.Engage the auger control for 5 seconds.

4.Disengage the auger control. The auger should stop in 5 seconds or less. If not, perform the auger control adjustment.

Adjustment

1.Turn the engine OFF.

2.With the auger control disengaged, measure the length of the cable spring (A, Figure 5).

3.Engage the auger control and measure the length of the expanded cable spring (A, Figure 6).

The cable spring should be stretched 1/2”-3/4” (1.3cm-1.9cm) when the auger control is engaged. If not, proceed to step 4.

4.Loosen the jam nut (B, Figure 5) at the upper end of the cable. Hold the threaded end of the cable and turn the cable clockwise until the desired extension is achieved. Retighten the jam nut and repeat steps 2- 3.

If the cable sheath cannot be adjusted to achieve 1/2”-3/4” (1.3cm-1.9cm) of spring deflection, the auger belt idler pulley can be adjusted. See the fol- lowing section.

DO NOT over-tighten the cable. The control cable must have some slack when in the disengaged position for the auger brake to function properly. If the auger does not stop within 5 seconds of the auger control being released, see your dealer.
