4.1.6.SINGLE HANDLE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT

IMPORTANT: Standing in the operator’s position, the left handle bar lever is for wheel drive engagement and disengagement. The right handle bar lever is for auger/impeller engagement and disengagement. Hold both levers down to handle bar for engagement and release levers for disengagement. When both levers are pressed down to the handle bar at the same time, the operator can release the right hand lever and the right lever will remain engaged as long as the left hand lever is held down to handle bar. Release the left hand lever and both levers will disengage.

1.Hold the wheel drive control lever down against the handle. See Figure 4.9.

2.Check position of the cam lock. It must align with the adjusting line located on the cam lock bracket.

3.To adjust, loosen the nuts on the cable guide support bracket and move the bracket in or out until the cam lock aligns with the adjusting line. Retighten nuts.

4.Hold the wheel drive control lever down to the handle bar, at the same time press the auger/impeller control lever down to the handle bar and hold in position.

5.Check the position of the cable ferrule in relation to the cam lock. The ferrule must be located 1/16” (.060) above the hook of the cam lock. To adjust, loosen the three nuts that secure the cam lock bracket. Slide bracket up or down until correct measurement is achieved. Retighten nuts securely. See Figure 4.9.
