Auger clutch cable inspection and adjustment
Inspection
For the auger brake to operate properly,
there should be free play in the auger
clutch cable with the auger clutch set in
the “OFF” position.
Check the free play at the tip of the
clutch lever.
Free play at the tip of the lever should
be:
15.0-35.0 mm (0.59- 1.38 in)
Adjustment is necessary if the free play
is not within specification.
Adjustment
1. Loosen the belt cover bolts and remove the belt cover.
2. Pull the cable boot up to expose the adjusting plate.
3. Disconnect the cable end from the clutch lever. The cable end can be dis-
connected easily by squeezing the clutch lever and then holding the cable
while releasing the lever. Be careful to avoid bending the cable.
NOTE:
Observe the position of the belt tension spring and lower cable end in the
adjusting plate, so you will know which holes were used when the spring
or cable is disconnected from the plate.
