2.Loosen the jam nut (B, Figure 25).

3.Turn the adjustment nut (A) to lengthen or shorten the cable. The cable should be tightened just until all slack is removed from the lever, however it must not engage the Easy Turn™ release without depressing the control lever.

4.Tighten the jam nut.

Under most circumstances, if the auger strikes an object which could cause damage to the unit, the shear pin will break. (This protects the gear box and other parts from damage.)

The shear pins are located on the auger shaft as shown in Figure 26. To replace the shear pins, tap out the bro- ken pin with a pin punch, and install a new shear pin and cotter pin. Spread the legs of the new cotter pin fully. Do

NOT replace shear pins with anything other than the correct grade replacement shear pin. (Use of bolts, screws or a harder shear pin will lead to damaged equip- ment.)
