EASY TURN™ CABLE ADJUSTMENT
If the Easy Turn™ cable has stretched, the gears will not
disengage when the control lever is activated. Adjust the
cable using the following procedure.
1. Turn the engine off and disconnect the spark plug
wire.
2. Loosen the jam nut (B, Figure 26).
3. Turn the adjustment nut (A) to lengthen or shorten
the cable. The cable should be tightened just until all
slack is removed from the lever, however it must not
engage the Easy Turn™ release without depressing
the control lever.
4. Tighten the jam nut.

SHEAR PIN REPLACEMENT
Under most circumstances, if the auger strikes an object
which could cause damage to the unit, the shear pin will
break. (This protects the gear box and other parts from
damage.)
The shear pins are located on the auger shaft as shown
in Figure 27. To replace the shear pins, tap out the bro-
ken pin with a pin punch, and install a new shear pin and
cotter pin. Spread the legs of the new cotter pin fully. Do
NOT replace shear pins with anything other than the
correct grade replacement shear pin. (Use of bolts,
screws or a harder shear pin will lead to damaged equip-
ment.)
WARNING
Do not go near the discharge chute or auger
when the engine is running. Do not run the engine
with any cover or guard removed.
