AUGER DRIVE ADJUSTMENT

WARNING

1.Check that the auger cable (A, Figure 18) is on top of cable button (B) as show in Figure 18.

2.With the drive lever released, the hook (B, Figure 19) should barely touch the lever (C) without raising it. There can be a maximum 1/32” clearance as shown.

3.To adjust, loosen nut (D) by holding the adjusting flats (A) and turning nut (D). Turn adjustment flats and hold screw. The adjustment screw is a phillips screw and the head can be held or turned by insert- ing a screwdriver through the spring (F).

4.Hold adjusting flats (A) and tighten nut (D).

5.Start unit and check auger. Auger must not be engaged unless auger control is depressed.

6.With engine running, fully depress auger control, the auger should engage and run normally.

7.Release auger control. Auger must stop within 5 seconds.

8.If auger does not operate properly, stop engine and recheck drive linkage adjustments.

9.If auger linkage is properly adjusted, auger drive belt tension may require adjustment. See “Belt Adjustment” in this section of the manual.

TRACTION DRIVE CABLE

ADJUSTMENT

Initial Adjustment

1.With the drive lever released there should be no slack in cable when moved slightly from side to side.

WARNING

Do not over-tighten, as this may cause traction drive to engage without depressing the traction drive control (arm must remain in down position).

Verify that the cables are not over-tightened: With speed selector in position 1 and traction drive control fully released, push snowthrower forward. The unit should move forward freely.

If unit does not move forward freely, the cable has been over-tightened. To remedy, loosen tension on clutch cable slightly, and recheck.
