Allow the auger to remain engaged for
approximately ten seconds before releasing the
auger control. Repeat this several times.
With the engine running in the fast position and the
auger control lever in the disengaged “up” position,
walk to the front of the machine.
Confirm that the auger has completely 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
readjusting the auger control cable.
To readjust the control cable, unhook the spring
(found on the end of the auger cable) from the
auger actuator bracket. See Figure 6.
Figure 6
Push the cable coupler through the end of the
spring to expose the lock nut. See Figure 7.
Figure 7
Thread the lock nut outward (down the coupler)
three full turns to provide more slack in the cable
and reattach the spring to the bracket.
Repeat auger control test to verify for proper
adjustment. Repeat previous steps to adjust more,
if necessary.

The tires are overinflated for shipping purposes.
Check tire pressure. Maintain pressure between 10
