AUGER DRIVE BELT IDLER PULLEY ADJUSTMENT

If the auger control cable has run out of adjustment, the drive belt idler pulley (B) can be adjusted to take up more belt slack.

1.Turn the engine OFF.

2.Loosen the jam nut (B, Figure 5) at the upper end of the cable. Hold the threaded end of the cable and turn the cable counterclockwise until the adjustment is half way between fully in and fully out.

3.Remove the belt cover to access the idler pulley (B, Figure 7).

4.Loosen the idler capscrew (C) and slide the idler pul- ley (B) to the back of the slot in the idler bracket (A).

5.Retighten the capscrew (C) and perform the AUGER CONTROL ADJUSTMENT.

After performing the AUGER CONTROL ADJUST- MENT reinstall the belt cover.

WARNING

DO NOT over-tighten the cable. The control cable must have some slack in the disengaged position for the auger brake to function properly. If the auger does not stop within 5 seconds of the auger control being released, see your dealer.
