The auger brake is adjusted at the faco tory to assure safe operation of the snowthrower. If the auger brake needs an adjustment, follow the steps below:
1.To access the auger brake, tilt the front of the unit up.
2.Make sure the auger drive belt is properly installed. See "How To Re- move The Auger Drive Belt".
3.Make sure the auger drive lever is
in the disengaged (released) posi- tion.
4.Turn the adjuster nut (See
Figure 16) in or out until the brake arm is in contact with the auger drive belt (See Figure 17).
5.Hold the auger drive lever in the en-
gaged position and push the brake arm down to remove all slack.
6.In correct adjustment, there will be 1/4 inch clearance between the
brake arm and the auger drive belt when the auger drive lever is engaged (See Figure 17).
