To adjust, disconnect ferrule from the brake bracket assembly and thread ferrule in (towards idler) to increase tension on belt, out to decrease tension. (See Figure 18.)

NOTE: The brake puck must always be firmly seated in the pulley groove when the auger clutch lever is in the disengaged position.
