5.5.Retighten the hex jam nut and repeat all three tests to verify proper adjustment has been achieved.
6.AUGER CONTROL TESTING AND ADJUST- MENT
6.1.Start the engine and run it at full throttle.
6.2.While standing in the operator position, engage the auger. Do this several times.
6.3.Release the auger control and walk to the front of the unit. Confirm that the auger has com- pletely stopped rotating and shows NO signs of motion.
IMPORTANT: If the auger shows ANY signs of rotating, immediately return to the operator's position and shut off the engine. Wait for ALL moving parts to stop before
6.4.To readjust the control cable, loosen the hex jam nut on the auger control cable "Z" fitting. Rotate the coupling end of the cable counterclockwise to provide more slack. Retighten the hex jam nut. See Figure 9.

6.5.Repeat Auger Control Test to verify proper adjustment has been achieved.
WARNING: Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specified in operator's manual.
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with four shear pins and cotter pins. If the auger should strike a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is designed so that the pins may shear. See Figure 10.
Shear Pins
Figure 10
If the augers will not turn, check to see if the pins have sheared.
One set of replacement shear pins has been provided with the snow thrower.
