ASSEMBLY
Auger Control
Check the adjustment of the auger control as follows:
When the auger control is released and in the disengaged “up”
position, the cable should have very little slack. It should NOT be
tight.
In a well-ventilated area, start the snow thrower engine. Refer
to Starting the Engine in the Operation section. Make sure the
throttle is set in the FAST position.
While standing in the operator’s position (behind the snow
thrower), engage the auger.
Allow the auger to remain engaged for approximately ten (10)
seconds before releasing the auger control. Repeat this several
times.
With the throttle control in the FAST (rabbit) position and
the auger control 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. 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 adjusting the
auger control.
To readjust the control cable, loosen the upper hex bolt on the
auger cable bracket. See Figure 9.
Position the bracket upward to provide more slack (or downward
to increase cable tension).
Retighten the upper hex bolt.
Repeat steps 2-6 above to verify proper adjustment has been
achieved.
