AUGER DRIVE CABLE ADJUSTMENT

The auger drive cable is adjusted at the factory and no adjustment should be necessary. If the cable becomes stretched or is sagging, adjustment will be necessary.

Whenever the belt is adjusted or replaced, the cable will need to be adjusted.

1.Remove the Z-hook (C, Figure 18) from the auger drive lever (A).

2.Slide the cable boot, (A, Figure 1) if equipped, up the auger control cable (B) until the cable boot does not cover any portion of the cable adjustment bracket

(D).

3.Pull the auger control cable (B) through the eyehole in the cable adjustment bracket (D) as shown by the arrow in Figure 18. This will create enough slack to allow the Z-hook to be easily removed.

4.Install the Z-hook (C) into the next available adjust- ment hole in the cable adjustment bracket (D). This is the adjustment hole located one notch down from where the Z-hook (C) was previously attached.

5.Pull the auger control cable (B) back through the eye- hole of the cable adjustment bracket (D) until all the slack is taken out of the auger control cable (B).

6.Slide the cable boot (A) back down over the cable adjustment bracket(D).

7.Install the Z-hook (B, Figure 18) to the auger drive lever (A).
